📋 Key Notes
- Pre-system (Feb 2-10): TextMess launched Feb 11 — no EOD data before this. Terminal data is authoritative for these dates.
- Feb 11-12: First days on system — staff were learning, card readings may be incomplete.
- Feb 16: £365 gap — terminal shows £646 but EOD only £281. Likely a missed card reading or the reading was for one service only.
- Feb 18: £117 gap — similar issue, partial card reading.
- Bank BCARD: Card payments settle to bank next working day. Weekend sales (Sat) appear on Monday.
- Terminal total: £11,391 vs Bank total: £10,947 — the £444 gap is the last days of Feb settling in early March.
