Hey there @cab2711. I’m always intrigued by questions like this. I’ve been in various business for a few decades now and I’ve never worried about my employees like this. If I don’t trust my employee, I find new employees. And I can’t imagine why employees would want to go to the time and expense to add up a bunch of transactions manually to figure out what the company sales are. Maybe that’s because I honestly don’t care if employees know that. Mine, at least, tend to use information like that to help them understand how the business is growing and thriving. At the end of the day, my employees love to see the final sales numbers and understand how good (or not) that day was, and that’s about it.
So, first, can you be a little more specific about what it is that worries you about employees having such information? I’m asking because I truly don’t understand and want to know. Once I know what your thinking is, I might be able to help. But I wouldn’t wait for Square to “fix” this, since it is not really a problem that needs fixing from a tech point of view. I don’t know of any POS that works like you are describing, and I’ve used 5-6 different POS systems over my many years in business.
One work-around that COULD work is to restrict transaction viewing so that only managers can access them all. This means that only managers could do returns, which might be a hassle but would accomplish your secrecy goals — assuming that your managers are more trustworthy than your front-line employees seem to be. But otherwise, there is nothing I can think of that would work, currently.
