FAQ & guides

Store bookkeeping questions — answered

Practical help for convenience store, grocery, beer & wine, and lottery shop owners. MRSTORE is a phone-first operating system — not generic accounting software.

Daily sales & books

How do convenience stores track daily sales without QuickBooks?

Most independent c-stores do not need a full desktop accounting package for day-to-day work. At close, enter your register Z total once in MRSTORE as a daily sale. The app keeps running totals for purchases, expenses, cash drops, and net position — and exports month-end data for your accountant. Start free →

What should I log every night?

At minimum: daily sale (register total), any vendor deliveries (purchases), utility or misc bills (expenses), and cash drops to bank or safe. Takes about 3 minutes once you build the habit.

Can employees log sales without the owner password?

Yes — on Pro, invite staff by email. Employees get their own login for sales, purchases, deliveries, and products. Owner tools (bank CSV, reports, store delete) stay owner-only.

Cash drawer & bank

How do I reconcile cash drawer vs bank balance?

Three steps: (1) Count drawer — enter real cash in the Money panel. (2) Log cash drops when you deposit. (3) Verify bank — enter checking balance from your bank app. MRSTORE compares books vs reality and flags gaps. Upload a bank CSV (Chase, Wells Fargo, PNC) to auto-match deposits.

Why does my drawer not match the register?

Common causes: lottery cash mixed in register, vendor paid from drawer but logged as bank, missing expense, or deposit logged on wrong date. Use History to fix payment method (Cash vs Card vs Check) — MRSTORE infers many vendor payments from names but you can override.

Card sales — when do they hit the bank?

Card batches settle 1–3 business days later. MRSTORE shows card not in bank yet separately from cash so you do not double-count. Square POS sync can import daily card totals automatically on Pro.

Lottery, vendors & inventory

How does lottery accounting work in a convenience store?

Lottery mixes with register cash — that is why generic spreadsheets fail. MRSTORE Lottery hub tracks settlements, customer payouts, and Tuesday cash alongside daily sales. Import settlement CSVs when your state allows. Free when your store sells lottery.

Can I scan distributor invoices instead of typing?

On Pro, photo a beer picksheet or PSM Ohio order — OCR pulls line items into products and logs the purchase. Then receive delivery updates shelf counts.

How do vendor orders work?

Build a product catalog with cost and retail. MRSTORE drafts orders from low stock and sell rate. Email or text the PO to your rep, then receive against the bill when it arrives.
