Month by month
Gray is sales. Green is what you kept.
Can I cover payroll?
Checking...
A good guess, not a promise. It uses your usual sales for each day until payday, what your items usually cost, your bills, and each person's pay and hours. Card money usually reaches the bank a day later, so payday's own sales don't count.
Cash drawer
Checking...
Expected in the drawer = starting cash + cash sales − cash paid out. Within $1 counts as right on. One count a day; counting again replaces it.
Snap a bill
Add a photo or PDF of a supplier's invoice. Ironside reads it, tells you what went up in price, and can update what items cost you. Nothing changes until you tap to use it.
People
Monthly bills
Rent, power, insurance, your POS fee, anything you pay every month. Ironside spreads it across the month.
QuickBooks
Send each day's sales to QuickBooks as one sales receipt, so your books match your register without retyping. Nothing goes in until you tap Send.
Checking...
Schedule
Plan who works when. Ironside checks each day against what you usually sell, so labor doesn't eat the day.

Where it came from
Missed calls that turned into sales
Your time back
How we count: only money we can trace to Ironside. That's bookings from people Ironside texted back after a missed call, and sales that used a sale code Ironside ran. Sales you would have made anyway aren't counted, and time saved is shown separately, never added to the money.
Technician
Only for LawsonFull diagnostics
Checks the whole system, one part at a time: this Mac, the Ironside server, every connected store, the numbers on Home, and safety. Anything off says how to fix it. Nothing in any store is changed.

Compare with the register
Type the total from Clover's (or Shopify's) own sales report for a day. Ironside shows its total next to it, and every sale it counted, so a difference is easy to find.
Clover check
Tries each kind of Clover request one at a time and shows exactly what Clover answers. Nothing in the store is changed.
Shop phone number
Buy the number in Twilio first (in the Ironside Twilio account), then type it here. Ironside links it and points its calls at the Ironside server.
