- On the Float management page, select Edit next to the cash float you want to configure.
- Apply the desired settings to the cash float. To learn about each setting, see the Cash float settings table.
- Click Update to save changes.

What’s next?
Now that you’ve set up cash float settings from the Back Office, you can use the cash drawer or user wallet feature on the POS. Using this feature enables you to count your cash before and after a shift. See Counting a cash float for more information on how to use a cash drawer with the Restaurant POS app.
