Tip Management

Tanda pulls tips in from your POS, splits them across your teams automatically by the hours each person worked, and carries the totals into the pay run. No spreadsheets, no manual entry, no working tips out separately from payroll.

Tips and payroll, handled in one place

For restaurants, bars, cafés, and any business with tipped staff, tips are part of payroll, not an afterthought. Tanda treats them that way. Tips sync in from your POS, pooling is calculated automatically, and everything flows into the same pay run as wages, taxes, and statutory entitlements, so what staff earn in tips is paid correctly the first time.

Sync tips straight from your POS

Tanda connects to your point of sale, so daily tip totals flow through without anyone re-keying them. From there, tips are pooled and distributed automatically, ready for the pay run.

Pool and distribute tips by team and hours

Set up a tip jar, assign the teams that share it, and Tanda distributes the pool automatically across those teams based on the hours each person worked. You set the allocation once and the same rule applies every pay period. Distributions are transparent, auditable, and tied to the exact shifts they came from.

Tips flow straight into payroll

Because Tanda builds pay runs directly from timesheets, distributed tips are already attached to the right employee and the right shift. There is no re-keying between a tip tracker and payroll. Tip income appears on the timesheet as an allowance and is carried into the same run as everything else.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have to enter tips manually in Tanda?

No. Tanda syncs daily tip totals from your point of sale, so there is no manual entry. Tips are then pooled and distributed automatically and carried into the pay run.

How does Tanda handle tip pooling and splitting?

You set the rule once and Tanda applies it every pay period. Assign a tip jar to one or more teams or departments, choose how the pool is shared between them (an equal split, or points or percentage shares per team), and the pool is distributed to each person based on the hours they worked.

Do tips flow into payroll automatically?

Yes. Because pay runs are built directly from timesheets, declared tips and top-ups are already attached to the correct employee and shift, with no re-keying between a separate tip tracker and payroll.

Is tip income taxed correctly?

Tip income is included in the pay run and taxed alongside regular wages, so remittances and year-end reporting reflect it correctly.

Does tip management work across multiple locations?

Yes. Tip declarations, pooling, and top-ups can be managed across multiple locations within a single Tanda account.
