Last updated October 18, 2026

  1. Turn on tips in POS settings.

  2. Choose three presets — small fixed amounts suit coffee orders.

  3. Open the customer display on a second tablet facing the counter.

  4. Ring a test order and add a tip.

  5. Check the tip on the register closing report.

Tips are recorded per sale and per staff member and kept apart from sales and tax. How you pool or pay them is your policy — see the blog on tip pooling rules (US).
