Setting up account properly to account for tips

I own a restaurant. Every day I run a sales report. I enter the sales receipt into quickbooks. Food , Liquor, Beer. Everything is noted as cash drawer. When the credit cards settle the next day they go into my bank account. I use the cash drawer as the account that the funds come out of. Problem- How do I account for credit card tips? Example- $200 in sales goes into "cash drawer". Credit cards settle the next day- $100 payment + $50 tips. but I paid those $50 to staff already so how do I account for them?
