Hey all, we're looking to go paperless for card tx. Right now we use paper cc receipts (merchant copy) to track tips so bartenders can cash themselves out at end-of-shift. We're considering adding a Square Terminal at each location for on-screen signatures (we can't take sigs on POS because they're fixed on the back bar). Is there a clean / low-effort method to get a report or have a tip summary available for bartenders to access directly? Or is the best method for us to keep piling up paper receipts so they can manually total their cc tips?
If the latter, can Terminal be configured to spit out a merchant copy only, or alternately, can it send that merchant copy to one of the POS printers already deployed on the back bar?
A bit more info on our setup. We use employee PINs for time tracking but not for drawer assignment (we use a generic user for recording sales at each station), and we don't require a PIN to start new transactions, because we designed our setup for speed. Also, sometimes two bartenders work from the same POS and cash drawer. We don't have a manager onsite at closing time, so bartenders have to have access to cc tip amounts to calculate their tip-outs. That's the only reason we're still using paper cc receipts. Is there a better way?
