The short answer: calculating tips on paper at the end of a long shift leads to mistakes and disputes. EzTip applies your split rules automatically, keeps a record of every distribution and exports the results for payroll.
1
Define your tip policy once, including a weight for each role.
2
Enter the tips collected for the shift.
3
EzTip calculates each share from hours and role; a manager reviews and approves.
4
Print a summary for each employee and export the results for payroll.
What managers and employees actually work with, step by step.
Create an agreement for each pool and EZTime applies it every time you distribute.
Each share comes from hours worked times the role weight, so there is no guesswork and no spreadsheet.
Filter past distributions by date and status, and export reports to Excel for payroll.

A 3-step flow that turns the night's tips into approved payouts.
Give each role its own share of the pool.
Set aside a portion for kitchen, bar or other teams.
Use different split rules for different situations.
Let shift managers run the split.
Every distribution is saved, with statuses and corrections.
Send the results to payroll.
Federal and state rules limit who can take part in a tip pool, and in particular managers and supervisors generally cannot keep employees’ tips. Write down your tip policy, make sure it follows the rules that apply to your business, and share it with your team.
Here is how a typical business might use EzTip: A busy bar closes at 2 a.m. Instead of counting shares by hand, the shift manager enters the night’s tips, EzTip calculates each share from hours worked and role weights, the manager approves, and each bartender and server gets a printed summary.
