Shift report (Z-report)
The end-of-shift summary that closes a cash drawer or terminal — sales by tender, voids, comps, discounts, opening and closing cash. The shift report is what reconciles deposits to bank and what audits start from.
Shift report (Z-report) in day-to-day operations
Operators meet shift report (z-report) at three moments: when a system is first configured, when a second outlet opens, and when margin is reviewed. At each point the practical question is not the definition but who owns it, where the data lives, and how quickly a discrepancy surfaces.
If shift report (z-report) lives only in a spreadsheet or in a manager's head, it drifts. When it sits in the operating system alongside tickets, recipes, payments and delivery commission, a discrepancy shows up the next morning instead of at month end — and that gap is where the money is.
