Frequently Asked Questions

How is the tip share calculated?

Total tips are divided proportionally by each bartender's hours worked relative to the total hours worked by all bartenders in the pool.

Does this account for role-based splits (e.g., head bartender vs. barback)?

This version uses a simple hours-based proportional split. For weighted role splits, adjust the hours input to reflect a weighted value.

Can this be used for a single shift?

Yes, enter the total tips and hours for just that shift to calculate an individual's share.
