Reporting Tip-Share Distribution
The Aloha POS system provides two types of BOH Tipshare distribution reports; one detailed, the other a summary.

- Select a date or a date range for which you want to generate the report.
- Click View, Print, or Export to review the report, as usual.

Exporting tip-share contributions by day part using NBO
The Aloha POS system reports tip-share contributions on a per shift basis only; however, if you use Back Office (NBO), you have the ability to view tip-share contributions by day part in GndTpShr.dbf.
In the above figure, servers Elliot and Finn contribute 2% of their sales to the tip-share pool, and bartenders Rafael, Amanda, and Olivia receive the tip-share contribution. Elliot’s shift spans two day parts. The records report by shift and day part, and the tip-share distribution appears on the report as:
Server 1 (Elliot), Shift 1, Type 2, Amount = $15.00, Day part = Lunch Server 1 (Elliot), Shift 2, Type 2, Amount = $5.00, Day part = Dinner Server 2 (Finn), Shift 1, Type 2, Amount = $6.00, Day part = Lunch Server 2 (Finn), Shift 2, Type 2, Amount $12.00, Day part = Dinner Type 1 = Recipient (Bartenders) Type 2 = Contributor (Servers)
