I am an employer in Missouri that pays waiters 2.13 per hour. How do I record cash tips they make?

Answer 1

At the end of every night, have them right down their cash tips as part of their closing procedures and keep that as record----that is what most restaurants do

Answer 2

Are you kidding me? I wouldn't work for you for that lousy pay even for a second. It sounds to me like you are trying to take advantage of your employees and that you should let them keep their cash tips to make up for what you don't give them. Sure they may make good tips as waiters, but you still need to remember that employees feel more valuable to their employers and will offer more effort back to their employers when they are they are appretiated by them. After all, when you have better effort from your staff and the staff sees that you appreciate their work, they will be more motivated to stick with your rules and workplace, work harder then to serve customers with a smile and friendly face, resulting in your business becoming more profitable and more customers wanting to go to yours even more just because of a more relaxing atmosphere there is when the employers care more about your success.

Answer 3

Since when do you need to know about their cash tips?
I was a waitress for over 30 years and cash tips were mine and mine alone. They were definately not my employer's business. I never once told them how much I made in tips, that is between me and the government at tax time.

$2.13/hr??? For real? Yikes...my last job paid $9.65/hr and I averaged a little over $100 day in tips...that was day shift.

Answer 4

If you worry about getting an accurate tip reporting from them, you can used 8% of their sales as a rule of thumb.....

Answer 5

2.13 per hour!!! WHAT??? That's horrible!

Answer 6

you are already in business and you don't know this?
