Hello,
After emails back and forth with Toast support figure better to ask those who probably know real world. We are a counter service pizzeria that our customers put tips in a tip jar. We have always deposited the tips and I pay them out to our staff on their paychecks every two weeks. I do the manual calculation total tips dispersed out by hours each person worked. All I'm seeking for in toast is how I can enter the cash tips daily so that I can run a toast report , showing all cash tips for the period I select. From there I will do the calculations and pay them out to our staff via our payroll software.
Any ideas how to enter the tips into toast, to be included in our deposit total, in which I can run a report to identify all cash tips? Again we don't pay out the cash tips We pull them for 2 weeks and share them with our entire team via their paycheck.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @jtmiller09, thanks for posting this question! rcmck is correct; the best way to accomplish this is to:
Isolating those tips to a ghost employee will mean it's tracked but not tied to a paid employee (assuming you are not using Toast payroll). If you use Toast Payroll, do not enter them into payroll; you don't want to pay for this "ghost" as an active employee.
For more help, we also offer classroom office hours where you can speak to a payroll expert!

You can create a menu item called "Cash Tips", defer the revenue so it doesn't impact your sales, and don't tax the menu item. You can then run a menu item detail report which would show you the total amount that menu item was used in any date range.
