Tip Payout System Overview

Workflow Overview - When an employee who is included in the tipping pool clocks in, the system will start keeping track of how much in credit card tips they are owed. After clocking out, this employee can then see their tip payout entry, which tells them how much they are owed in tips for that shift.

This workflow should only be used if your employees collect their tips in cash at the end of each shift, and if they split tips evenly depending on who is clocked in at the time (split by transaction).

For example, if only one barista is clocked in, all tips gathered on transactions will go to that barista. If another one clocks in, tips will then be split evenly between those two baristas at the time of the second barista’s clock in.

Credit & Debit System - The tip payout can only calculate tips owed to employees on shift based on who is clocked into the Dripos system. If someone worked but forgot to clock in, other employees on shift may get over-awarded tips at the time of clock out.

If the time clock error is corrected before the next time employees clock in, the system will make a calculation to even out the incorrectly paid out tips at the time of next clock out. The employee

If applicable, these credits and debits are tracked on each time card and can be viewed on the Web Dashboard.
