Which is more fair?</P><P>1) Take all tips and split by amount of time worked, compared to each other - meaning, % of total.</P><P>OR</P><P>2) Position A works all day, no split shift. Position B has 2 people working 52/48. Position C has 2 people working 50/50. Divide tips by 3 and then apply the % of time worked within the position. So position A gets 100% of 1/3 of the tips. Position B gets 48% and 52% of 1/3 of the tips. And Position C splits the last 1/3 of tips 50/50.</P><P>I tested the math and there's a significant difference in $.</P> Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:09:41 GMT dottiescoffee 2024-06-28T14:09:41Z https://community.toasttab.com/t5/restaurant-operations/tip-pooling-question/m-p/11211#M4722 <P>I'm trying not to make this any more complicated than it needs to be but.... we pool tips and we just started some split shifts yesterday.
