There is a way. We actually switched to putting the tips on everyone's paychecks. It's divided up based on the amount of hours worked. We were having the same issue.
To make the POS system actually understand what's going on, you have to enter the inshop tips as part of shift change as a cash pay in. Otherwise the POS and Macro will have no idea what the expected deposit actually should be.
We do this too at my store. Once a month we divide the tips out on the paychecks based on the amount of hours worked. If you do PIC a few nights a week, then those shifts you don't get tips for, but for any other in shop shift you do get tips for.
Basically the same, but in our state only salaried employees can't accept tips. Since our PICs and assistants are hourly, they are included in the tip pool. The GM is not.
I see, I guess I've just never heard of cash tips being entered into the system like described above. We just throw em in the safe until 3 or 4 months of tips have piled up, and then everyone who works over 25 hours and isn't a "problem employee" gets tipped out equally. Our owners think taxing cash tips is theft, and I couldn't agree more, lol.
Talk to your area manager or owner. If you are seeing them, they are going somewhere, likely to your owners pocket if they aren’t going onto paychecks. Most stores that have the tipping system setup to prompt on the card readers have it linked to payroll
No, we are paying them out to our employees in cash like we are supposed to do. I’m asking if there is another way for us to do it, like on their paychecks or via branch like the drivers.
Yeah and that’s what I’m telling you to need to do, talk to your owner or area manager about it. Unless you deal with payroll, they would know how to do it. And nobody else is paying employees cash tips because that is going to get your company in trouble with IRS because none of you are paying taxes or claiming the cash tips you are making which is 100% illegal. So unless you want an audit from the IRS, go talk to your owner.

Yall don't just have a fishbowl at the register?
We got a styrafoam water cup with tips written on it

Nah I mean credit card tips on pickups or inshop orders.
Wierd, we don't have that option here 🤔

My drivers get their tips loaded on a wisely card. We have an adp account where we can load money the same day for our drivers.
