Attention!

The protel Air upgrade in Summer 2020 brought about changes to the user interface and also to many functions.

You can find the updated instructions for them in the new protel Air Online Help.

Please note: The migration process is still ongoing. Therefore you may still be able to use some functions as described in this Online Help.

For this reason, we will not delete this Online Help yet.

If you have any questions, please contact your support!

Cash register basics

Log out cash register

The cash register has to be opened for each transaction.

In order to open the cash register, you will need the register number as well as a password. Both will be saved in protel Air's system data. As soon as the register has been logged in, all of the revenue and transactions are saved and can be retraced to the user who had executed them. At the end of a shift, the register can be cashed up with the cash register closure.

Log in and log out cash register

The register is only logged in when a (cash) payment is to be booked. For example, this is the case when a guest makes a special payment or settles his bill while checking out .

Log in cash register

Click on the "Cash Registers" button located at the lower right part of the window:

The Open / Close Cash Register window where you enter the cash register's number and the password then appears:

Should a transaction occur after the cash register has been closed, the Log in cash register window automatically appears.
