Tip Pooling

[TGWH]

Love the new Tip Pooling by Transaction - it can potentially eliminate our confusing paper trail of tip records! Just a few questions:

1. When using tip by transaction paired with tipping directly at the end of a shift - how do our employees get their specific tip info at the end of a shift from our Square Register POS?

 - the Team App was suggested earlier but I don’t expect each employee to have a smartphone, or expect each employee to download an app on our behalf. 

2. Can I override tip distribution in real time from my dashboard? (Say there is a party and only one employee is working it, how to avoid the tip being dispersed amongst all eligible employees working during that transaction)

3. We have a salaried employee that doesn’t clock in - to be eligible for tip distribution by transaction, will they need to start clocking in or can I do an automatic opt in for tips on the days they work?

With a few kinks worked out, I really hope to be able to implement the new feature!

Hi TGWH,

It seems that tip pooling was just updated from 3 options to 2. It seems that pool tips by clocked in is gone.

Do you see that too under Shifts -> Settings -> Tips?

We were going to be switching to Pool tips by clocked in at the end of this month but...dont know now. If features just disappear which we will be relying on, its a bit worrying.

I haven't gotten a reply to my thread either. I'd love to know the answers to your questions too. They really interest me as we are trying to digitize as much of the manual operations as possible.

We haven't ruled out yet other systems but we're looking to centralize in to one dependable system as much as possible.
