Example of how-to use Tip: Bean Brewing Coffee has 3 waiters, Avi, Bongi, and Chris. They recently decided to enable tips on their Shaker Solo. After a discussion, each waiter chose a unique waiter ID. Avi chose "01," Bongi chose "02," and Chris chose "99."Every time Chris processes a payment, he enters his unique waiter ID, "99," into the system. The tips for each waiter are displayed on the detailed and summary cash-ups, as well as the reports on iKhokha.biz.The manager can use this data to track and pay the waiters their tips daily. This system has motivated them to work harder and provide excellent customer service.
