Chit House-Currency Reconciliation
For clubs that sell in-house dance vouchers, and the dancers who cash them

$250 in vouchers. $212 in her hand. Why?

Chit reconciles the night’s in-house vouchers — sold, surcharged, cashed out, and the count left in the safe — holds every cash-out to the deduction the club posted, and gives each dancer her own slip with exactly the numbers the club sees.

The problem

The house rate was never written down.

Clubs sell vouchers on a card, often with a surcharge, and dancers cash them in at the end of the night less a house deduction — one club took 15%, turning $250 into $212. The arguments are always the same: what was the rate that night, was it applied to everybody, does the voucher count add up, and did the dancer ever see the numbers.

15%

taken at cash-out by one dancer’s club: $250 became about $212.

Will not close a night that does not reconcile.

Not a reminder. Close the night refuses, with the reason beside it, while the voucher count does not agree, any cash-out was paid at other than the posted rate without a note, or any dancer has not initialled her slip. A cash-out at the wrong rate is refused at the counter. A rate cannot be back-dated. There is no override.

How it works

Post the rate, count the vouchers, show the slip

Post the house rate

The cash-out deduction and the card surcharge, with the day they start. Never earlier than today: a night already worked keeps its rate.

Write down each cash-out

Dancer, face value, cash paid. Chit shows what the posted rate says she is owed; anything else is refused without a note.

Close the night

The safe count agrees, every slip is initialled by the dancer it belongs to, and the night is frozen.

What it will never do

It counts money that already moved.

Chit is a ledger for the house and a receipt for the dancer. It never sells a voucher or touches a card.

It never touches a payment.No card is charged, no voucher is sold, no cash is paid by Chit. It records what the club did.
No customers.Voucher sales are totals. No names, no card numbers.
Stage names only.A dancer is the name on her slip. No legal name, no tax details.
It sets no rate.The deduction and surcharge are the club’s own decisions. Chit holds the club to them.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Does Chit decide the deduction?

No. The club posts it. Chit makes sure every cash-out that night was paid at it, and shows the dancer the same figure.

What if we paid a dancer the wrong amount?

Press Pay the difference: the slip records the correction and the day it was made. The night cannot close until it is put right or explained.

Can a dancer see her own slips?

Yes. The Dancers’ slips page shows each dancer every cash-out, the rate that night, what she was owed and what she was paid.

Is this legal or tax advice?

No. How house currency is taxed, and whether a deduction is lawful where you are, is for your adviser.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, emailed to the address you give at checkout within two working days. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

Open the demo at closing time

The rate went from 10% to 12% three weeks ago and every night since has reconciled. Tonight has not: one cash-out was paid at the old 10%, one dancer has not seen her slip, and the safe has not been counted.
