Take some fives,a bunch of ones, and a bunch of Quarters and you'll be fine. Always break the change issue down to the lowest common denominator. In your case it's Quarters. After a few days, balance it out. You'll have people give you Ten's & Twenty's so you'll have them for later customers. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING LARGER THAN A TWENTY!! Better to give away a hot dog than to get stiffed with a bogus big bill!

Pete,
dont worry about it, most every topic ends up going totally off topic like this.
I would take at least 30 in quarters, 50 in $1, 70 in $5 total $150 to start and adjust up or down from there as business dictates.
best of luck to you.

At $100 per day in sales, I bank $190. $40 in twenties, $50 in tens, $50 in fives, and $50 in singles....Quarters I try to keep about $10+ a day and I buy extras each night to keep the till at a proper level.The high powered guys may keep more but at that level I only have to stop at the bank once a week to make adjustments.

"It's speled Pisces!!!" "Speled" is spelled "spelled."

With my business I like to keep things simple and convenient. That being said all my prices end in even amounts. My highest cost item is $3.00 and my lowest cost is $1.00. When I start the day I bring $40 in fives, $20 in toonies (a toonie is a two-dollar coin in Canada), and $10 in dollars. That totals $70 in float and has worked for me since I started business.
