What is Tip Sharing?

Tip sharing is when employees directly share a portion of their individual tips with other employees who assisted them, typically based on factors like sales generated, total tips earned, or specific tasks performed.

Tip sharing is ideal for rewarding employees who assist others in earning tips, for example, servers sharing with bussers, hosts, or bartenders.
