SD–RET–01 · United States · not scoped to any state · shop floor and cash records
47-page kit · 16 sections · plus fill-in checklist, how-to guide and sources · 127 pages across 4 files
Most cash-handling templates a shop owner can find are written as though the money were the subject. Read them as instructions given to a nineteen-year-old alone at closing time and they are something else: a written direction to stand between a stranger and a register.

A daily shop-floor and cash record, and a safety document before it is a money one. Section 12 says three things at the top, in short sentences: comply, do not resist, no amount of money is worth a person. There is no instruction anywhere in these pages to resist, to follow anybody, to stand in anybody's way or to withhold cash, and every member of staff signs to say they have read it. 2,100 fill-in blanks across 17 sections: opening and closing floor walks, opening and closing drawer counts, drops and no-sales, the over-or-short reconciliation that is the only reason to count a register twice, a deposit run the kit tells you to vary rather than schedule, returns and exchanges, price checks, shift handoff, working alone, and a weekly reconciliation. It prints no drawer limit, no deposit time, no returns window and no tax rate, because all four belong to the owner or to his state. It cites no regulation.

What's inside
What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.

Your state can add to this. We have written down two places where this trade’s set differs from one state to the next. What we sell is written to the federal baseline, and a state that runs its own programme can ask for more than the federal rule does.

01The kit itself, 17 sections with 2,100 fill-in fields, as a PDF you can type into
02Section 12, the one that is about people rather than money: comply, do not resist, no amount of money is worth a person, plus what happens in the hour afterwards and a separate witness account per person
03Section 2, the owner's own five figures, including the drawer limit this kit refuses to print, and a telephone call to your state about the returns policy
04An opening floor walk that starts on the pavement: look at the shop before you put a key in the door, and do not go in alone if anything is wrong
05Opening and closing drawer count sheets, counted by one person and witnessed by another
06The over-or-short reconciliation, with a ten-line list of what to look for before anybody escalates it, and the rule that a figure is never adjusted to make a sheet balance
07Drops, no-sales with a reason against every one, voids and refunds, and money paid out of the register
08A deposit run with a record of who made it up, who took it and when it was back, and a rule that says vary the time and the route
09Your own returns policy written down once, a returns log filled in while the customer is still at the counter, and a dispute record
010Price and shelf-edge checks, markdowns with a start and an end, and closing walks for the floor and for leaving the building
011Working alone: the rules the owner sets, a walk-round of what makes the counter safer, and a record of aggressive customers
012A weekly reconciliation, a corrective-action register with a repeat column, and a signed acknowledgement register for Section 12

Exclusions
Before you buy
When the law behind this set moves, or a clause keeps causing an argument, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this set edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is a blank set and it is scoped to no state. Every state-specific figure in it is left blank for you to fill from your own, and whether what you write in holds is decided by your state's law, often your city's. Check yours before you rely on it.
