Tip Pooling
How does Axial Shift handle tip pool edge cases?
Short answer
Axial Shift handles all of the tip pool edge cases automatically. Tips collected by non-tippable employees, such as managers, are distributed to tippable employees. When no eligible employee is in a pool, tips roll forward instead of disappearing. Axial warns managers about anything that needs a decision.
- Manager and other non-tippable tips distributed to eligible employees
- Tips rolled forward when no eligible employee worked
- Warnings when a pool needs attention
- Tips reconcile with the POS, and Axial rounds only at the final per-employee step
