The Server Functions screen enables you to view your balances, confirm your shift drops, print your daily reports, and close your shift. Most users end their server shifts at the end of the day, but you can close out a server shift multiple times a business day if needed.




Along the top of the report, you can choose the button to see all servers who have settled shifts for the current business day. 


 

The calculator function is explained in depth in the calculator topic.
