📖 How to use "Employee R.Tips" to manage employee tip income?

If cash tips are not recorded, payroll calculation becomes messy. This feature helps you record cash tips into the system, or correct wrongly allocated tips. Once recorded, the data automatically syncs to backend reports, so calculating wages is no longer a headache.

1. When to use this feature?

• Receiving Cash Tips: A guest gave a waiter a cash tip, and you need to put it on record for unified payroll calculation at the end of the month.
• Correcting Errors: If you find that previous tips were allocated wrongly (e.g., A's tip was mistakenly calculated for B), you can manually modify the amount directly here.
• Benefits: Say goodbye to "messy accounts," ensure all tip data is traceable, and directly generate accurate payroll report data.

2. Where is the feature?

On the POS device (Station), click 【More】 on the Front Station main page, then select 【Employee R.Tips】.

3. How to operate step-by-step?

Step 1: Select Person and Time

After entering the page, first confirm in the top left corner:

• Date Range: Which day do you want to record? (Supports retroactive recording for past dates).
• Employee: Defaults to showing everyone, you can also select a single employee.

Step 2: Enter or Modify Amount

Directly enter the correct tip amount in the input box of the employee list.

• If modifying historical data, click【Edit】on the right to enter modification mode.

🚀 Tip: Keyboard Shortcuts
When recording tips for multiple people in bulk, use the keyboard to get it done at lightning speed:
* Tab Key: Finish one person, automatically jump to the next.
* Number Keys: Enter amount.
* Enter Key: Confirm/Save data.
* Backspace Key: Delete quantity.

Step 3: Save and Print

• After confirming the amount is correct, click 【Save】 in the bottom right corner.
• 【Print】 (Optional): If you need to give the employee a voucher, or keep a copy for records, click the print button in the top right corner to print the current tip entry details.

4. Who can use this feature? (Permission Management)

Because it involves employee income, it is recommended to only open it to management:

• Enabled by default: Owner and Manager have this permission by default.
• Grant permissions to others: If you need to authorize a supervisor or finance staff, please log in to the Merchant Admin Portal (Admin.fronttab.com), go to 【Organization】->【Role Management】 ->【Edit Role】, and check 【Employee R.Tips】.

5. Printer configuration

No extra setup required.

Employee tip receipts will be printed from your "Report Printer" scheme by default.

6. ⚠️ Where did the data go?

All data entered here will automatically sync to the reports in the Merchant Admin Portal, directly affecting payroll calculations.

• Viewing Location: Log in to Merchant Admin Portal (Admin.fronttab.com) -> 【Employee Analytics】 -> 【Attendance & Payroll】.
• Viewing Data: Please focus on the 【R.tip】 column in the report; the tip amount you just entered/modified can be viewed here.
