One major difference between a cashier in the front office as opposed to a cashier in the restaurant (or any other department) is the direction in which cash flows. In the restaurant (and other departments), cash can flow in (receipts) and flow out (paidouts). In the front office, cash can only flow in (receipts). That's because any outflow (paidouts) at the front desk must be handled through the accounting department via the city ledger.

In both the front office and other departments like restaurants, cash can flow both in (receipts) and out (paidouts). In the front office, cashiers may also handle certain cash outflows directly, such as providing change, refunding deposits, or managing petty cash disbursements, without necessarily routing these transactions exclusively through the accounting department.
