Tip Pooling, Tip Sharing, Tipping Out: How and Why Restaurants Split Tips

In the hospitality industry, tips (or gratuities) aren’t icing on the cake: they’re often the reason employees can make a living wage. The process of splitting tips — i.e., tip pooling, tip sharing or tipping out — helps to ensure that everyone who contributes to a customer’s experience can reap the rewards of a job well done.

To truly benefit your team and business (without damaging your culture) tip pooling or tip sharing must be done fairly, transparently, and in accordance with current regulations.

Whether you’re in California or Connecticut, here’s an overview of how tip pooling (or tip sharing, or tip splitting) should work, plus some resources to make sure you’re in compliance with the laws in your own state.

Before we dive into various tip-out or tip pay-out methods, it’s important to understand some basic terms and stipulations around restaurant tips.

What is a tip?

A tip, or a gratuity, is a sum of money that a restaurant customer pays in addition to their check amount. It’s important to note that a tip or gratuity is not mandated. In the U.S., a tip is often expected, particularly at full-service restaurants — but it’s not required. Generally, a tip or gratuity is somewhere between 10-20% of the total check amount (before taxes and other fees). However, the tip amount is ultimately left to the discretion of the customer.

Who can receive tips?

Tips belong to employees, period. While restaurants can redistribute tips by way of a tip pool (more on that below), managers and employers cannot participate in tip pools. (With that being said, if a manager receives a tip directly from a customer, they are entitled to that money.)

There are some positions that are commonly tipped — like servers, bartenders, bellhops, valets — but the title isn’t what really matters. Your employees qualify as tipped employees if they “customarily and regularly” receive more than $30 in tips per month.

Non-tipped employees are generally back-of-house staff, like chefs, line cooks, dishwashers and janitors. These people contribute to a guest’s experience, but they don’t actually interface with the guests and therefore don’t have the opportunity to receive a tip.

What’s the tip credit?

Employers in the hospitality industry can legally pay their employees less than minimum wage if their employees’ tips make up the difference. When employers do this, it’s called taking a tip credit, because they’re crediting their employees’ tips toward an employer obligation to pay minimum wage. (Keep in mind: not all states allow tip credits. To check out minimum wage rules for your state, go here.)

Tip Pooling for Restaurants

Now let’s take a look at the ins and outs of tip pooling: what it is, how it works, and different tip pooling structures that your restaurant might consider.

What is tip pooling?

Tip pooling is a practice in the hospitality industry where tipped employees contribute the tips they’ve earned into a pool at the end of a shift. That pool is then divided (often equally, but not always) among a designated group of employees. Simply put, all tips received during a shift are pooled and then redistributed among employees.

When restaurants require tip pooling, they’re subject to certain regulations at the federal level, as well as state-level regulations that vary depending on where your restaurant is located. Illegal tip pools have led to multimillion-dollar lawsuits for restaurants, so it’s important to ensure your restaurant is operating within the letter and spirit of the law before instituting a tip pool.

What is tip sharing?

People often use the terms tip pooling and tip sharing interchangeably. And in reality, there’s no real legal definition for tip sharing. From a legal standpoint, we typically see the term “tip pooling” used as a broad, high-level category for the process of contributing any amount of tips to a pool and redistributing them (including what you might consider tip sharing). Learn more about the difference between tip pooling and tip sharing.

However, while tip pooling is often (but not always) based on an equal distribution of pooled tips, tip sharing is based on percentages that vary based on position. For example, servers may keep 60% of their tips and “share” the other 40% with other employees, including FOH staff like bussers and hostesses, and/or BOH staff like dishwashers and line cooks.

What is tipping out?

Tipping out is essentially the same as tip sharing. In the explanation above, the “sharing” part is actually tipping out. So a server would keep their share or percentage of the tip pool, then “tip out” bussers, hostesses, etc. based on pre-set percentages.

What are the current tip pooling laws for 2022?

The laws around tip pooling or tip sharing (and tip payments in general) are somewhat complex. Here’s a quick rundown of tip pooling laws and regulations.

Who can participate in a tip pool? Managers, supervisors and employers absolutely cannot participate in a tip pool, period. (If you have managers or supervisors that sometimes perform duties of a tipped employee, you can learn more about that here.)
In 2018, the Department of Labor issued a rule change that now allows BOH employees to participate in a tip pool, but only in states where there isn’t a tip credit — so, primarily the West Coast.
Federal vs state tip pooling laws.: There are both federal and state regulations around tip pools. It’s critical to understand both the federal laws and the state laws that apply to your business. Keep in mind: if you operate multiple sites, each site is governed by the regulations where it is located. (In other words, it doesn’t matter where you’re headquartered.)
Tip pooling lawsuits. There have been multimillion dollar lawsuits due to illegal tip pools. Generally, tip pool lawsuits are the result of a) Management or management employees taking part in the tip pool, or b) Employees being unclear about the rules of the tip pool (lack of transparency and communication).
Changes to tipping regulations. Laws continue to evolve as they relate to minimum wage for hospitality workers, the tip credit, and more. Many of these changes are tied to administration changes. (For example: the 80/20 rule has shifted under Obama, Trump, and now Biden.) Changes to these laws can impact your tip pooling policies, so it’s important to stay up-to-date.

Restaurant tip pool policies and formulas

In order to create a tip pool for your restaurant, you’ll need to answer these two questions.

How is the tip pool being created or calculated? In other words, what’s going into the pool? A few common options:

Require all tips to go into the tip pool, then redistribute.
Require a percentage of a server’s total sales to go into the pool. (E.g., a server’s sales for their shift total $500; the server might put 2% of his sales, or $10, into the pool.)
Servers keep a set percentage of their tips, then contribute the remainder to a pool.

Who is participating in the tip pool? We’ll say it again for the people in the back: Managers, supervisors and employers cannot participate in a tip pool. But you’ll need to decide which employees you want to benefit from the tip pool. That could be:

Only servers
Servers and bartenders
FOH staff
FOH and BOH staff

Sample tip sharing policies and methods

Below are a few sample tip pooling policies. Of course, before instituting a tip pool policy, you’ll need to make sure it’s in accordance with both federal regulations and the state regulations that govern your restaurant locations.

Basic tip pool. All tips are pooled, then evenly distributed among participating employees. This happens more frequently with QSR and fast casual restaurants — i.e., the type of establishment that might have a tip jar.
Set percentages. Generally, for percent-based tip-outs, servers keep a majority percentage of their tips, then contribute the remainder to a pool. An employee’s role or position then determines the amount they receive from the pool.

Real world example: Servers keep 70% of their tips and contribute 30% to a pool. Bartenders might get 50% of the pool, hostesses get 20%, bussers get 10%, dishwashers get 10%, and so on.

Points system. Employees are assigned points based on their role, and those points determine the percentage of the tip pool they receive.

Real world example: Let’s say servers get 15 points, hostesses get 5 points, and bussers get 2 points. You’d want to determine the total points for each shift.

4 servers = 60 points
2 hostesses = 10 points
1 busser = 2 points

So, total points = 72.

If total tips earned in one shift is $792, the value of a point is (792 / 72), or $11. So each server would get $165 (15 x $11), each hostess would get $55, and each busser would get $22.

Hours worked. Tip pool amount is divided by total hours worked. That number is then multiplied by the hours each employee worked to determine what they’re owed.

Real world example: 4 servers worked a total of 25 hours. The tip pool totals $450. For every hour worked, servers earn $18.

Server A worked 4 hours, gets $72
Server B worked 7 hours, gets $126
Server C worked 8 hours, gets $144
Server D worked 6 hours, gets $108

A few other notes on tip policies

Employer tip “deductions”

As stated above: tips belong to employees, not employers. However, when your employees are tipped via credit card, federal law generally allows restaurants to deduct a proportionate percentage of the credit card processing fee from the tip. (That is, if you have to pay a 4% credit card processing fee, you can legally deduct 4% from your employees’ tips. Keep in mind: this is another case where federal law may permit this policy, but states may have stricter rules.)

Service chargers, surcharges and auto-gratuities

Service charges and surcharges aren’t gratuities. If any of those charges go toward employees, they must be treated as wages, not tips. That goes for auto-gratuities, as it’s a mandated charge and not at the discretion of the customer. For more information on these charges, check out our post with labor and employment attorney Beth Schroeder.

What is the best tip-out policy for your restaurant?

Tip pooling can be a sensitive subject. Many restaurateurs have the best of intentions when they decide to establish a tip pool, but it’s not always done in a way that benefits the team.

While everyone plays a role in a guest’s experience, servers typically put in the face time and (arguably) can make or break the tip by managing the experience — i.e., establishing rapport, avoiding mistakes, doing damage control when the kitchen’s backed up or runs out of salmon. Servers and other tipped employees may be less excited about sharing tips with back-of-house staff.

And, unfortunately, there’s a level of distrust that your employees may have around tip pools, as some restaurateurs and employees have gamed or abused the system for their own benefit. While they’re certainly in the minority, they’ve given tip pooling a bad rap.

On the other hand, there are some pros to tip pooling and tip sharing with non-tipped employees. It keeps anyone from having a truly terrible night in terms of tips earned. Also: Your back-of-house staff certainly contributes to the experience a guest has — and they’re working just as hard as their tipped co-workers — but they don’t have the earning potential that comes with being a tipped employee.

If you’re establishing a tip pool for the first time, after ensuring that you’re 100% compliant with state and federal laws, think through the policies and specific percentages that will work best for your restaurant.

Then, focus on transparency: clearly communicate your objectives and policies. Not only is it required by law that you provide oral or written notice, but it’s also important from a culture and trust perspective. If employees understand the thought and logic behind your decisions, they’ll feel confident that you care about the financial well-being of every person on your team.

How the 2024 Presidential Election Could Affect Taxes for Tipped Employees

It’s an election year, in case you haven’t heard! 😉 This one has major implications for tipped employees — specifically, when it comes to taxes.

It’s no secret that our Democratic and Republican candidates are running on very different platforms. But when it comes to tip regulations, Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump actually both support reducing taxes on tips.

A little context on taxes and tips

We’re just going to state the obvious: For the average American, tax reporting can be pretty, pretty confusing. For the millions of employees working in tipped occupations — well, that creates another layer of uncertainties.

(Do I have to report my tips? Do have to report my cash tips? Will anyone know if I don’t report my tips? What happens if I don’t accurately or fully report what I earned?)

Historically, there’s been a trend of hospitality employees underreporting cash tips to prevent higher tax burdens. And while this may reduce what employees owe Uncle Sam in the moment, there can be downsides: e.g., if they find themselves eligible for unemployment, if they’re trying to qualify for an auto loan or mortgage, etc.

However, that urge to underreport could be relieved in the near future, given the tax code changes both of our presidential candidates have proposed. The TL;DR: Both Trump and Harris have voiced their intention to relieve some of the burden on tipped workers in restaurants, bars, hotels, and other service positions.

Here’s a quick summary of each candidate’s plan, as well as some potential impacts for restaurant employees.

Trump’s plan for tipped employees

Trump shared his plan to reduce tipped income tax burden at a rally in Las Vegas — fitting for a city that’s built on the gig economy. Nevada is home to the highest concentration of tipped employees who work in the many hotels, casinos, and restaurants that millions of tourists flock to annually.

During the rally, the former president announced that he would make tipped income exempt from federal income tax, stating it would happen “right away” when he takes office.

Since speaking at the rally, Trump has not yet clarified what this would mean for tipped employees. Many servers want to know if this is an exemption just on federal income tax or if the proposal includes payroll taxes (social security and Medicare).

Harris’s tip tax proposal

Harris also took the opportunity to speak on her tipped income policy while visiting Nevada. Much like Trump, she knew she’d have a captive audience when it comes to tipped earnings.

Her proposal promises to exempt tipped income from the federal income tax, but she has made clear that tips will still be subject to payroll taxes. While not yet confirmed, campaign insiders say Harris is considering placing some guardrails on her plan — like a caveat that the tax exemption only applies to employees earning less than $75,000 per year.

Is one plan better than the other?

In short: probably not. (Most service and hospitality workers do not earn above the $75,000 threshold that’s been suggested by the Harris campaign.) So either way, servers, bartenders, and hospitality staff can expect to see a lower tax burden during the next administration.

But what does that look like in practice?

Most tipped employees aren’t receiving their tips on payroll — they’re walking out of every shift with their earnings for the night, deduction-free. Instead, the taxes are paid on payroll out of their hourly earnings, which is why many servers get $0 paychecks every two weeks. With a reduced tax burden, most servers will see the difference in higher paychecks.

On the other hand, economists are wary of the impact of eliminating taxes on tips, citing the reduced funding for social security and Medicare. And with so much negative sentiment around “tipflation” these days, experts also speculate that a reduced tax burden may result in even more hesitance at the tip screen.

Increasing minimum wage

We’re closely following campaign promises about an increase to the minimum wage — especially in regards to the tipped minimum wage and the tip credit.

Minimum wage earners have been eyeing an increase, noting that the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour hasn’t increased since 2009, and servers, bartenders, and other tipped employees have been earning $2.13 per hour for over 30 years. An increased minimum wage paired with the reduced tax burden could make a major difference for service workers trying to keep up with the rising cost of living.

In the Harris camp, removing tax on tips is just part of the plan to take some pressure off service workers. While Harris hasn’t shared a detailed plan for bumping up the minimum wage, she has indicated that she would support an increase.

In previous election cycles, Trump stated that he would consider a minimum wage increase, but he has not shared his opinion on the matter during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Of course, we’re a ways out from any real policy changes actually shape — but if you’re looking to make your tip management process less taxing in the interim (see what we did there?), Kickfin is here for you!

Top 4 Ways to Protect Your Restaurant from Cash Shrinkage

No matter what industry you work in, there’s always a risk for shrinkage and theft. Ninety-five percent of all businesses experience theft in the workplace, and up to 75% of employees have admitted to stealing from their employer.

Most of the time, it’s not intentional or malicious. For restaurants, it could be something as innocent as giving your friends a free drink or asking the kitchen for food and neglecting to ring it in.

But when you have a lot of employees handling cash day in and day out, it can be very tempting for someone to take advantage of systems and pocket extra money at your expense. To make matters worse: because cash is hard to track, it can be tricky for operators to put their finger on exactly what’s happening — at least, before it starts to impact your bottom line.

While cash shrinkage can jeopardize your business, operators do have the power to protect their restaurants. Ultimately, it comes down to having the right processes, systems and partners in place.

Here are 4 things you can start doing today to protect your restaurant from cash shrinkage.

1. Create a culture of trust with employees

Most people want to come to work, do their best, and make an honest living. Creating an environment where your employees trust you with their earnings should encourage them to also be responsible with company assets, including cash.

Of course, it starts with doing your due diligence when building out your team. That means interviewing new hires in person, asking the right questions, and always checking references.

But the fact of the matter is that even good people can make poor decisions, especially when they’re struggling. As an employer, there are things you can do to keep your staff from ever getting to a place where they feel the urge or need to steal. That includes:

Paying a fair and competitive wage
Paying wages on time, in full
Giving people instant access to their earnings
Offering employee benefits and perks if possible
Adhering to federal, state and local labor/wage regulations, especially as they relate to tips

Bottom line: If you show that employees you take their financial well being seriously, it can foster an environment of mutual respect, making employees less likely to consider theft as a reasonable (or justifiable) option.

2. Minimize cash touchpoints

It’s simple. Less cash on hand = less opportunity for cash shrinkage.

In the unfortunate case that a high-ranking employee is stealing from your restaurant, cash tip outs make it much more difficult to catch and trace. Anyone with access to cash registers and safes has the opportunity to take a few extra bills — and you may not notice until well after the cash is pocketed and spent.

Instead of locking up cash and making only a few employees responsible for the massive task of paying out tips, take advantage of new technology that eliminates cash from the tip out process. Fewer people will need to manage cash, which adds one extra layer of security against theft.

Bonus: cashless tipping vendors like Kickfin give your employees more flexibility with their earnings. They can opt for tips to be sent directly to their bank or to have them put on their payroll check, empowering employees to make their own financial decisions.

3. Create a digital paper trail

The trouble with cash is the inability to track it. Half the battle is realizing that the cash is missing; and once you know it’s gone — well, now what?

Digital gratuity management software makes it easy for restaurant operators to create a digital paper trail for all tip payouts. You’ll be able to identify any improper payments, who they went to, and who authorized the payout — removing a major security soft spot.

Not only will you feel more secure, but your loyal employees will thank you for making tip outs much easier.

4. Select a secure tip management partner

Removing cash-on-hand is a great first step, and it should make any potential theft traceable back to the person responsible. But wouldn’t you rather prevent theft before it happens?

If you’re ready to bring your gratuity management into the future, make sure to thoroughly vet your options — because not every digital tip out software has strong protections against theft.

That’s why Kickfin has optional guardrails that can mitigate your risk of employee theft.

Maximum tip amounts: Limit the amount that can be issued in any individual payout.

Role policies: Create policies to limit who can receive payments by role type, and limit who can send payments to themselves.

Multi-factor authentication: Set your own rules to require MFA at any point, whether at every login or once a month.

Payment interval approval: Trigger a requirement for second approval for an employee’s first payment or their first payment in a determined number of days.

Payment velocity approval: Trigger a requirement for second approval when an employee receives a determined number of payments within a certain interval.

For our POS integration partners, Kickfin can also put guardrails around your tip calculation policies to prevent fraud. While we offer the ability to send payments through manual entry, spreadsheet upload, or using our tip calculation software, integration users can disallow manual and upload payments to prevent any ad hoc payouts.

Integration users can also lock in their tip calculation rules, so that only certain users can make changes to the calculation policy.

How Kickfin helps in the event of fraud

Even without the temptation of cash in the safe, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

If you find yourself in a regrettable situation with an employee, your tip management partner should be there to back you up. Thankfully, our platform tracks each payout which will help you identify irregularities and the source of the problem.

The Kickfin team will always be there to support our partners who experience security breaches.

4 Ways to Save on Restaurant Labor Costs with Kickfin

In the restaurant industry, profit margins have always been tight — and these days, they’re only getting tighter.

Running a restaurant is a labor intensive business. You need a strong back of house team to push out food, front of house workers to greet and care for guests, and managers to keep everyone in check. Naturally, labor is one of the most significant expenses for restaurant operators. In order to keep costs reasonable for customers, even a slight overage on labor can break your budget — but thankfully there are levers you can pull to reduce labor costs.

If you want to secure your business’s financial future, you’re going to need to streamline scheduling practices and keep a close eye on labor costs… without frustrating employees who want more shifts.

Don’t worry: you can turn to traditional wisdom, sales forecasting, and emerging restaurant technology to make sure that you stay on budget.

Here are a few ways you can save on labor costs at your restaurant:

1. Rethink the schedule

Obviously, the most straight-forward way to cut labor costs is to reduce the number of people you schedule on a given night.

We get it — you don’t want to see hour-long ticket times and poor guest experiences. But you might not need as many folks on the line or servers on the floor as you think — at least, not all the time.

Staffing and scheduling isn’t a perfect science, but there are some tactics operators should test if they’d like to “right size” every shift — including:

Analyze your daily schedule. Don’t make assumptions about your peak times and slow periods. Analyze sales trends and let the data be your guide.
Anticipate seasonal trends. If you’re in a college town, don’t wait until your servers are twiddling their thumbs in July to implement a new summer schedule.
Let your seasoned staff shine. Your veteran employees likely thrive on those super busy nights when they’re running on pure adrenaline (and earning way more in tips). Consider giving more experienced workers more responsibility — assuming they’re willing and able — and you might be able to get away with fewer people on a shift here and there.

2. Assess and address productivity

Are you making the most of the team that you already have? There are a few ways you can identify your highest-producing employees and make the most of their success:

Evaluate employee performance. Most employees want to be successful; observe your team and analyzes things like sales per labor hour, table turnover rate, and tip volume to get a sense of your strongest players and those who could use more training (and bonus: this can reduce turnover and boost team morale)

Provide incentives. Create a fun bonus system that rewards strong performance and high levels of productivity. You can use data from the previous data point to set goals.
Cross-train employees. Training your staff to handle multiple roles – or hiring folks with vast service experience – offers flexibility for scheduling and can reduce your need for additional hires.

3. Don’t pay employees to wait for their tips

No, we’re not saying to cut all of your servers early (no matter how much they ask).

But, you can send your servers on their way much quicker when they don’t have to wait around for managers to count out cash tips. Once they’ve finished their sidework, servers can clock out and see their digital tips sent directly to their bank account, instead of hanging around on the clock waiting for the shift manager to do their check outs.

4. Prevent labor overages before they happen

Most restaurants simply can’t afford to pay overtime for staff. But sometimes your full-time staff creep toward 40 hours of work without anyone noticing…and suddenly you’re paying 1.5x what you expected for a single worker.

This, too, goes back to proper scheduling policies. Give yourself a bit of wiggle room for the employee who clocks in 10 minutes early or often takes a long time on sidework by never scheduling anyone for more than 38 hours each week.

5. Pay close attention to clock-outs

People make mistakes, and tired servers often leave their long double shift without clocking out for the night. Usually, they’ll realize their mistake and call the store to have someone clock them out (still adding extra time to their shift).

But sometimes, the clock keeps running all night, and no one notices until it’s time to process payroll. Two weeks later, your admin team is spending way too much time correcting clock-outs so that you don’t end up paying for 8 extra hours of work.

Try using technology that puts guardrails in place to prevent any clock-out mistakes before they happen. Kickfin doesn’t allow you to process and pay out tips until an employee is clocked out, so managers can make sure everyone is clocked out at the proper time.

(We also have some other exciting new features that can make your life easier!)

Not only can Kickfin help you reduce labor costs, but we’re ready to simplify your entire tip management process. Reach out to us to learn more about our instant tip calculations, integrations, and smarter tipping solutions.

How to Get Your Restaurant Ready for Football Season

Football is back! Whether you’re rooting for your alma mater or just hoping to see massive sales at your restaurant, it’s an exciting — but often stressful — time of year.

If your restaurant has at least one TV, you’re going to have some customers asking you to switch it to ESPN. And if you’re running a sports bar … it’s officially crunch time. Expect your tables to be full (and harder to turn) and your staff to be running on pure adrenaline as the restaurant fills up with fans hoping for a bite to eat.

You probably know the drill: hire more staff, add more servers to game day schedules, and manage your inventory with hungry fans in mind. But if you want to get the most out of football season, get game-ready for some of the busiest weekends of the year with our tips for a successful season.

Consider a game day menu

When your restaurant is at full capacity with hungry football fans, you might want to consider a limited menu for the weekends in order to keep wait times down. Shorten the food menu down to shareable apps, best sellers, and items with the simplest prep so that your kitchen isn’t lined with tickets at halftime.

At the bar, don’t limit your customers to certain cocktails — but consider the power of suggestion and list out some easy-to-batch cocktails that will keep your service bar out of the weeds.

**Make sure they can watch their game**

Is there anything worse than a group of die-hard fans walking in to see their team play — only to realize you don’t have the right subscription service to stream it? Next thing you know, some guy has commandeered the remote to sign into his YouTubeTV account.

Before that embarrassing situation arises, check your cable listings and subscription services to see if you’re missing any important channels. You’re probably going to need to upgrade in order to show games that aren’t carried in your market. Here are just a few channels you might need:

ESPN+
Hulu + Live TV
Peacock
NFL Sunday Ticket
YouTubeTV or cable
Netflix (yep — Netflix will be streaming a few NFL games this year)

If viewing options are limited, or you don’t have enough screens to air multiple games at once, make sure you’ve got a strong wifi connection (free, of course) so that your guests can watch on their phones — or more importantly, talk smack to their fantasy league.

Offer game day deals

Now that you’re logistically ready for the season, it’s time to draw in the customers. Make your restaurant the place for fans to gather by offering drink specials and deals on appetizers.

Leverage social media to get the word out about your game day deals. Consider paying to boost a post or running a giveaway for people who share a post about your game day specials.

Plan for Post-Game

You don’t want the restaurant to empty out as the clock runs down. Entice fans to stay and celebrate (or lick their wounds) once the game ends by extending deals. That could mean a discount for fans of the winning team or an extra-long happy hour.

Pay out your employees — quickly.

After a long game-day shift, your servers and managers are going to be more tired than usual. Let them head home early by using Kickfin to pay out tips instantly. We take care of all of the tip calculations and send tips directly to servers’ bank accounts in seconds, so your exhausted team members don’t have to wait to put their feet up and rest.
