Employee Tip Shares

Our restaurants thrive by working as a team. Every one of us does our part to take care of our guests. As such, each of us deserves to get paid a piece of the tips.

With Focus Employee Tip Shares, you can do just that, and track it too!

Using Focus Employee Tip Shares, employees can provide a portion of their tips to fellow employees. Recording those tips is simple using the system outlined below:
