Automated Nextar Cash Register Variance Reports
Every night, WebRun opens Nextar, compares each register's counted cash to its expected total from the day's sales, logs the variance by shift and cashier to Google Sheets, and posts a Slack alert for any shift over your tolerance so small gaps get caught before they add up.
How do I catch cash register variances in Nextar?
Every night, WebRun compares each Nextar register's counted cash to its expected total from that day's sales and logs the variance by shift and cashier to Google Sheets. It posts a Slack alert for any shift over your set tolerance, so a small gap gets caught and addressed the same night instead of piling up unnoticed for weeks.

Questions, answered
Does it accuse a cashier of anything?
No. It only reports the numbers, the register, and the shift. What caused a variance and any conversation with staff is still yours to handle.
What counts as over tolerance?
Whatever amount you set, commonly a few dollars either way. Anything inside that range is logged quietly with no alert.
Does it track patterns over time?
Yes. Google Sheets keeps a running month to date variance total per cashier, so a repeat pattern is easy to spot.
