Tip Pooling Calculator:

Efficiently managing tips is crucial for both your staff and your business. Our meticulously crafted Excel sheet template takes the guesswork out of calculating tips, ensuring your team of employees receive the compensation they deserve. Simply start by filling out the Employee List page first. Enter their first and last names, role and department (FOH or BOH). Then go to the page of the specific day you’d like to calculate the tips for, and start filling out the hours each employee has worked that day. Next, simply put in the tip amount for each employee (or if you’d like to entire a tip amount for the whole day just write it onto the yellow cell at the bottom of the “Tips” column). Now you can easily use the “Total Tip Out” column to view how much each employee will receive and distribute accordingly. Totally transparent and accurate, this tool will empower you to reward your team of employees fairly and cultivate a positive work environment!
