Do I have to record every client?

No. One total at close of day is a valid entry. Record individually only if you want to.

Cash and card separately?

Yes — they are different accounts, so what is in the drawer and what is in the bank never blur together.

Can I see whether a week was any good?

Ask for the report. Takings against costs, for whatever period you name.

For salon and barbershop owners in Australia

Say the total between clients. Cash, stock and chair rent, all in the chat you already have open.

Cash all day, the card machine settling tomorrow, colour bought when it runs out, and no idea whether Tuesday paid for itself.
