Set tip and kitchen fee

Choose how tips are handled at the end of the shift. Under Transfer to the Kitchen, you can define an additional calculation for the employee report if needed.

Tip at the end of the shift

  • Tips remain in the till: They are included in the expected cash balance.

  • Employees pay themselves cash tips: Cash tips are recorded as payouts at the end of the shift.

  • Employees pay themselves all tips: Cash and card tips are recorded as payouts. Card tips are also withdrawn as cash.

Sufficient cash must be available to process card tips. Otherwise, the expected cash balance may become negative.

Handover to the kitchen

Activate Kitchen Charge. Enter a percentage between 0.01 and 100 and select the basis of assessment: Sales revenue excluding voucher sales or tips from cash and card payments. Save the changes.

The kitchen service charge is only calculated and shown on the employee report. Servire does not book it or deduct it from the cash payment.
