CREDIT CARD TIPS PROTOCOL
CREDIT CARD TIPS PROTOCOL
Attention Front of House Staff:
This is a reminder that all tips are to be pooled and equally split between servers and bartenders. This includes:
Credit card tips
Cash tips
Gratuities
Additional tips added to an already tipped table
From the total tip pool, 18% will be allocated to bussers and bar backs. The remaining amount will then be equally divided among servers and bartenders.
Taking tips without contributing them to the pool is considered stealing and will not be tolerated. It is unfair to your coworkers to pocket any tips, including additional tips given directly to you.
Let's ensure fairness and teamwork for everyone!
