What is "beancounting"?

Beancounting is a shift on the Free Geek staff schedule. On this shift staff members count the money from a previous shift's till, transfer it into the safe, and get fresh tills ready for the next shift.

Get the tills from previous shift

There are two tills for the Thrift Store and two for the Front Desk. At the beginning of a shift, one of each is always fresh and ready for the next shift. The other one contains the money and paperwork from the previous shifts. Get the previous shift's tills from the safe and take them to a secure area for counting. Also get the cash box, since you will be tranferring money into it.

If the Front Desk and/or Thrift Store don't have their tills yet, give them the fresh tills that are already prepared.

Check the math on the paperwork

Count the money in the till

Ensure there are enough small bills and coins to make a fresh till

Calculate the shifts receipts

Transfer the money into the cash box

Itemize the money in each till (and box)
