Hello, How did you end up solving your tip problem? We handle our tips the same way, servers are able to take home a portion of their CC tips each night in cash depending on how much cash sales they had. They carry their own bank, we do not have cash drawers. Essentially we are exchanging cc tips for cash sales income. When the CC deposit clears the bank, our accountants use that entire figure as sales income. Then payroll happens and the total CC Tips reported are taxed then I have a deduction for the cc tips in cash (Retained Tips) that they already received. The problem for us is that the P&L shows those cc sales as asset but has the Gross Wages as the deduction. I am not getting any credit for the tips that were already payed. Do I increase sales by the amount of tips that were paid out daily - cash sales that never hit the bank account? Or do I create a Payroll Expense Credit for the Retained Tips amount? RN they are giving that credit to Owner Draw. My accountant is only using the bank account to do our P&Ls. Payroll is ran through QuickBooks. Thank you for your help!
