What is this? Restaurants must distribute tips fairly under IRS rules. This calculator splits total tips by hours worked (最 common legal method) or by custom role weights. Supports servers, bartenders, bussers, host staff, and back-of-house.
IRS rules: Tips are taxable income. A "tip pool" can include back-of-house staff but cannot exceed 15% of combined food and drink sales after GST. Mandatory service charges are not tips.
Who it's for: Restaurant managers, owners, and servers setting up or auditing tip distribution.
