Point Distribution
How Points Work in TipHaus
Ratios
You set up a single rule that distributes 30% of the Server’s tips to the Bartender and Barback. You create a point for the rule that is (4) for the Bartenders and (1) for the Barbacks.
This means that no matter how many Barbacks or Bartenders are clocked in, the Bartenders will always get four times as many tips as the Barbacks.
For example, if no one is clocked in as Bartender, then Barbacks will get all the tips.
If no one is clocked into either Bartender or Barback, the Server will retain the tips.
The ratios work well in scenarios where staffing can be variable, and management wants to maintain an even disbursement of tips regardless of who is clocked in as what.
Two Different Rules
This is different than setting up two different rules that state that Servers tip out 7.5% of tips to Barbacks and a separate rule that says Servers tip out 22.5% to Bartenders.
In that case, there will no longer be a ratio, but instead, there will be set percentages always given out to those respective Job Codes regardless of how many people are using those Job Codes.
Setting up two different rules works well for restaurants that handle staffing more rigidly, such as franchises.
