I would like to use order tags to allow an operator to assign tips to individual members of staff. Often, after a dive customers will say “please give the guide $10 and please split $10 amongst the boat and support crew” - This $20 is often added to the whole bill which is processed by the operator. The money is put in the till, but the tip is recorded as a separate transaction type within SambaPOS.
I know this sounds diving specific, but in a restaurant context think of it as a “Please give $5 dive to the desert chef” and you will see why this functionality could be useful.
Sometimes we have freelance staff, or people on short-term contracts. For this reason it would be good to allow free-tagging, but the free-tag price field is likely to add unnecessary confusion. Is it possible to hide it?
I would like to use the following report to detail all tips received per person. This report is made possible by using order tags:
[Tips:2,3,2,4,3,2]
@{REPORT ORDER DETAILS:OT.Tips.asc::,}
>>Ticket#|Date|Total|Customer|Staff|Tip
> $1
{REPORT ORDER DETAILS:T.TicketNumber.asc,T.Date,T.TotalAmount,EN.Customers,OT.Tips,O.Price:(OT.Tips=$1)}
> ||||$1| {REPORT ORDER DETAILS:O.Price.sum:(OT.Tips=$1)}
I have read this post, but I don’t think the solution would provide such a quick method for the operator to assign the tips, or for the reporting to work as effectively.
