Tip Splitting
Learn the basics of how tip pooling and splitting work on Dripos
On Dripos, you can create your tipping pool based on role as well as ticket type. In other words, you can include or exclude roles from earning tips from the pool, and you can control which types of orders actually make up the tips in the pool.
For example, you may want to include baristas, cashiers, and bussers in the tipping pool, but exclude owners or salaried managers. Or, you may want to allow tips left on “To-go” and “For here” orders to make up the tipping pool, but not delivery orders.

Splitting the Tipping Pool on Dripos
On Dripos, your employee’s tips can be calculated in a few different ways. How you’d like to divvy tips between your employees may depend on your shop’s workflow, hours of operation, or other factors. tips can be pooled in the following ways:
Splitting by Transaction: Each tip left on a transaction will be split equally between whoever is clocked in at the time of that transaction. For example, if Betty is the only employee clocked in at 1pm and a $10 tip is left at 1:05pm, she will earn all $10 as tips. If Veronica clocks in at 1:10pm and a $10 tip is left at 1:15pm, $5 will go to Betty, and $5 will go to Veronica.
Splitting by Day: Splitting by day means that tips will be split proportionally between every employee who was clocked in that day.
Splitting by Week: Splitting by day means that tips will be split proportionally between every employee who was clocked in that week.
Splitting by Pay Period: Splitting by day means that tips will be split proportionally between every employee who was clocked in during the entire pay period.
