Store closing checklist
Closing checks: till reconciliation, cash handling, security, tidiness and cleaning. Completed in the field, with or without signal, recording who closed.
In retail closing is the riskiest moment of the day: it is when all the takings are in the store and when, if something is left badly secured, nobody checks it until the next morning. A till that does not balance and goes unrecorded, an alarm left unarmed, a stockroom door left unlocked: any of these can end in a loss or an overnight break-in.
Closing also determines how the next day starts. If the floor is left untidy and the tills without their float ready, the opening is done in a rush and the errors carry over. A closing checklist forces you to properly secure what is critical — the money, security and order — and records who closed and in what condition, which is exactly what you need when something turns up wrong the next day.
