Saturday 24 May.

Reuben the regular came in for the third time this week asking about the loaf with the seeds on top — I told him sourdough seeded comes Wednesday and Saturday, he said he’ll be back Wednesday. Worth keeping two aside for him from now on.

Counter cash float started at $250 — short $5 from yesterday’s close, I’ve flagged it on the cash-up screen. Coffee bean hopper at half, will need a refill before 1pm rush.

Couple from the cellar booked a 5pm tasting for 6 — Jules has set up the back nook. Cheese board for two going their way at 5:30.

Milk delivery short two crates of full-cream. Driver said the rest comes tomorrow first thing. Marked it on the board — we’ll be fine til lunch but tell Maddie not to oat-milk every flat white as a default.

Front in. Dishwasher load 1 done. Pastry case wiped — third shelf bracket still a touch loose, I shimmed it but flagging for Tom.

Closed at 4:08, register short $5 (logged separately). Bins out. Front door locked. Alarm set 4:14. Dishwasher load 3 going overnight, Maddie to check first thing.

The new lavender shortbread sold out by 2pm again. Tess said she can do 80 next week if we want — saying yes unless someone shouts at me.

EFTPOS terminal froze twice today around lunch — restarted both times, Luke knows. If it goes a third time, manual receipt pad is in drawer 2, write down all amounts and reconcile tomorrow.
