Shift Review Tip Out Settings: Overview

Depending on whether your location tips out employees at the end of each shift or you pay out non-cash tips and/or gratuity via payroll, you may need to update the following settings under Employees > Shift review > Advanced shift review setup so that your Shift Review workflow matches your actual tip out workflow. Because you have the option to set the tipping behavior for gratuity and non-cash tips separately, ensure that you have made the appropriate selections for both.

Non-cash tips are tips left with a credit card, or gift card, and tips left by using other payment options configured in Toast Web.

Gratuities can be listed in two ways:

  1. Cash Gratuities: Gratuities left in cash
  2. Non-cash Gratuities: These are gratuities from service charges paid with credit cards, gift cards, and other payment types.


Both non-cash tips and gratuities are included in the shift review report under the Tips & Fees Earned section.
