A tip pool is a system where all tips are combined into a collective pool and redistributed among eligible employees.Dripos allows your shop to configure the tipping pool based on Roles and Ticket Types.Include or exclude roles from earning tips and manage which order types contribute tips to the pool:
Step 1: Determine Roles to Include
Manage which roles to include or exclude from the tipping pool.For example, you may want to include baristas and cashiers in the tipping pool, but exclude owners or salaried managers.
1
Log in to the Web Dashboard and navigate to Team > My Team > Roles
2
Click Edit on the role you would like to include or exclude from the tipping pool
3
On the Role Information page, click Edit Information in the top right corner
4
Update the Tips Disabled setting and Save
If set to Yes, this role will not be included in the tipping pool. If set to No, employees with this role will receive a share of the tips.
Step 2: Determine Ticket Types to Include
Manage which ticket types contribute to the tipping pool.For example, you may want tips on “To-Go” and “For Here” orders to make up the tipping pool, but not tips left on delivery orders.

Dripos can calculate and split tips amongst employees with tip-enabled roles in the following ways:By Transaction: Tips left on each transaction are split evenly between clocked in employees.For example, if Betty is the only employee clocked in when a $10 tip is left, she earns all $10. If Betty and Veronica are both clocked in when a $10 tip is left, the tip is evenly split and they earn $5 each.By Day: Tips are split proportional to the hours worked by every employee clocked in that day.For example, a total of $100 in tips were received that day. Betty worked 7 hours and Veronica worked 3 hours. Proportional to the hours they worked that day, Betty earns $70 and Veronica earns $30By Week: Tips are split proportional to the hours worked by every employee clocked in that week.For example, a total of $500 in tips were received that week. Betty worked 25 hours, Veronica worked 15 hours, and Archie worked 10 hours. Proportional to the hours they worked that week, Betty earns $250, Veronica earns $150, and Archie earns $100.By Period (for Dripos Payroll): Tips are split proportional to the hours worked by every employee clocked in that pay period.
