When a guest pays with cash, TripWorks saves both the amount they handed you and the change you gave back. Those values stay on the booking and appear in your reporting, so balancing your cash drawer at the end of the day is much easier.
Taking a cash payment
- On the booking, choose to take a payment and select Pay By Cash.
- Enter the Tender Amount — the cash the guest handed you.
- TripWorks calculates the Change Given automatically (Tendered minus the payment amount) and records both.
Where to see Tendered and Change Given
On the booking
Open the booking and expand the cash payment in the payment section. Beneath the existing payment details you'll see two rows:
- Tendered — the cash amount the guest handed to you.
- Change Given — the amount returned to the guest.
These rows appear only for cash payments.
In the Payments Detail report
The Payments Detail report includes two columns, Tendered and Change Given, right after Tip Amount. Non-cash payments show a dash in these columns, so you can quickly scan your cash activity for the day.
