Multiple employees using square register

Groompella — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:01:35 GMT

I own a barber shop and have 3 employees. sometimes a client will have multiple kids and each employee would do a service. I cannot figure out how to give credit (pay commission) and split tips between the employees and allow the customer to pay off one ticket.

This does sound like the easiest solution would be to nicely ask the customer to pay for each haircut separately. If you let them know the tips can't be split to different stylists on the same receipt they probably wouldn't mind. ("This way you can give each stylist the tip you want to.")

Or is there an employee profile you could use for the store, so the tip in a situation like this goes to you as the boss and you then split it later to the employees when you do payroll?

Thanks for your response Michael. While that would be a solution, it is not however the customer service/experience that I would like. I absolutely love the speed at which Square processes transactions and is the main reason why I would like to switch over exclusively to square. It does integrate with by Barberly (online booking software) however their POS system is way to clunky for my experience (behind the register) and it doesn't integrate with the square register. I use another pos system (envision) which has the feature (checkout) of assigning services (items) to a particular employee, as well as the system prompts the user to assign tips. It seems that this would be possible with square, but I have no idea where or how to suggest such a solution. I have purchased the square register and terminal as well as a bar code scanner and sadly it looks like square may not meet my needs.

Hi @Groompella,

Thanks for reaching out!

I think our appointments subscriptions might be able to to do this. But I am double checking with the team.

I will follow up as soon as I have insight.

Thanks MAYAP, My Barbershop uses Barberly for online appointments. Barberly does integrate with square, however not with the square register, I need the square terminal. I did purchase the terminal but do not like the Barberly integration, specifcally the way the POS works with Barberly. I also really like the look of the square register and the customer facing screen.

The think I really like about Barberly (online appointments) is that I have my own branded barbershop app and it also includes a que function (web based site) that shows real time appointments (schedule) of all the barbers. I put it up on a big screen that I can see from my stations and it gives me a two hour window of upcoming arrivals (appointments) a walkin can also search for an opening and book a walkin spot. The customer experience is very important and the quickness and smoothness of the checkout with Square is excellent.
