Select Maintenance > Labor > Tip-share Pools to access this function.

The tip-share pool determines which job codes receive the tip-share amount based on a defined percentage. For example, if the restaurant determines that bartenders should receive a larger percentage from a tip-share pool that consists of bussers, dishwashers, and bartenders, you can configure bartenders to receive 50% of the tip-share, while bussers and dishwashers receive 25% each.
