# How Can I Track Tips and Distribute Them Fairly Among Staff?

You track tips by recording the daily total, the rule for sharing it, and the people who worked, so the amount for each person is calculated by a formula that everyone can see. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms**, a tips **table**, and calculated fields.

Tips are a sensitive topic. When the split is calculated privately or by habit, even honest managers face suspicion, and good employees may leave over a feeling of unfairness.

## What opaque tip sharing costs

- Distrust between staff and management
- Disputes about who worked when and how much they should receive
- Hours spent calculating shares by hand
- Errors that need to be corrected after payment

## How transparent tip tracking works

- The daily **total** is entered by the manager
- Worked shifts are pulled from the schedule
- A formula applies the agreed sharing rule
- Each employee can see their own calculation

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Visible rules reduce suspicion
- Calculations are consistent every day
- Managers save time at the end of the period
- This scales from a small team to a large restaurant
