Tips Pooling

[Jake-TrueNorth]

Hi Community! Does anyone else have trouble managing the tips allocation when there should be multiple tip pools? It's so much work for us since we can't set the pooling rules that the Tips Manager feature allows for. Are we the only ones struggling with this? We can't transition to Toast Payroll because it doesn't have all the features we need, so we unfortunately can't get access to Tips Manager.

Cheers,

Jake

What features do you require for a payroll platform? I've used payroll for a while now, and it works great. However, I haven't subscribed to the tip manager yet as I had developed a spreadsheet to handle tip pooling with multiple pools and different payout percentages. It takes time to input employee hours worked for the day, but the spreadsheet handles the rest. I then import the data into toast payroll, and tips are paid appropriately. I'd be happy to discuss and show you what I developed and see if it might help in your situation.

We're a brewery and use Toast for our taproom, but we have all the rest of the employees in our payroll obviously too. Brewery staff, the outside sales team, maintenance crew, etc. A lot beyond the typical restaurant style operation that Toast is built for. Plus our payroll system has a very extensive HR consultant package that we don't want to give up. I'd love to know what criteria your spreadsheet uses to separate the tips that came in and the rules it uses to divvy them up. Thanks
Cheers,

We are doing the same thing, and haven't been able to have Toast Tip pooling help. Still doing in manual excel sheet style for multiple pools.

Hello! I have attached an article on how you can pull tips with Toast, without using the Tips Manager. However, many locations find it easier to pull tips using an excel sheet as our process can be a bit confusing!
