The 60-second
close-out, in order.

The close-out is the one nouz interaction that has to happen every single day. Everything else — Statistics, P&L review, monthly export — can wait. The close-out can't, because every day you skip is a hole in the data that compromises all the analytics built on top of it.

The good news: when you have a fixed order to run through, it really is sixty seconds. The order below is what most owners settle into after a week. It works because every step needs only data that's already in front of you at close-out.

01 What do I need in front of me before I start?

Two things: your till's daily total (the Z-report or POS export), and your acquirer's app or terminal showing today's card volume. With those, the rest is just typing. If you don't have them — your POS is glitchy, the acquirer app isn't syncing — pick your best estimate and move on. A close-enough number logged today beats a perfect number entered two days late.

02 What order do I run the close-out in?

1. 1
   Open Revenue

   Today's date is already selected.

2. 2
   Type cash (BAR)

   Total cash sales for the day, gross (VAT included).

3. 3
   Type card (EC)

   Total card sales, gross. nouz applies the fee % to this column only.

4. 4
   Open Expenses

   Click + Add expense for each one-off cost from the day (supplies, repairs, packaging).

5. 5
   Pick a category

   Eight defaults — Advertising, Transport, Packaging, Spoilage, Other, the rest. See Expense categories.

6. 6
   Back to Home

   Today's tile now shows your EBIT. Done.

If you use product sales instead of (or alongside) manual entries, the order changes slightly: in step 2-3, click + Product sale instead of typing cash/card directly. Pick product, type quantity, save. Repeat for each high-volume product. Then add one manual entry for everything else (the catch-all).

03 What happens right after I save?

The week-so-far strip on Home updates with today's dot. The comparison chip on the today tile compares against the same day last week. If today beat last Tuesday, the chip is green. If not, red. That's your fifteen-second post-close feedback loop.

04 How do I turn the close-out into a habit?

Two tricks that lock the habit in: do it at the same point in your closing routine every day (most owners pick "after the till is counted, before the door is locked"), and don't open nouz earlier in the day. Mid-day glancing tends to derail the close-out routine because you've "already looked at the app" — even though you didn't log anything.
