Step by Step

In the orderbird cashbook, you can see all your cash income as well as cash expenses. Please note that you have to set your cash payment methods on my.orderbird when starting the cashbook so that everything can work correctly. Card payments or bank transfers must NOT be recorded in the cash book. You must also enter the initial balance when you start for the first time.

  1. Open the orderbird app and tap on "Cashbook".

  2. Under "Initial balance" at the top left, you can see the cash amount you started the day with and when you recorded the first entry in the cash book - or in other words: At what time you opened the new cash sheet. To the right, you can see your current cash balance under "Current balance".

  3. The green arrow down marks your current cash receipts, the red arrow up marks your cash expenditures.
  4. Tap on "Current Transactions" to see a detailed list of all cash movements. Each entry has its own ID.
