A collective tip policy needs more than a number on the waiter report. Menulyn records the tip at sale time, pools eligible tips, lets management confirm the staff who were in service, allocates awards and then tracks each remittance until balances are settled.
The person who captured a sale is not always the only person who contributed to the service. Pooling creates a fairer basis for shared gratuities, but only if the business can explain what was collected, who was included, how the split was calculated and what each person has actually received.
These capabilities are part of the Menulyn operational feature set and are designed to work with the surrounding sales, stock, staff and reporting records.
