Tip pools that close themselves.
Configure your rules once, by hours, by section, by role, by custom percentage. Tips auto-distribute at shift close. No more midnight calculator sessions. No more disputes.
Manual tip pooling is a nightly tax on your closing manager.
If your business runs a tip pool and you're calculating it by hand, you're losing 30-60 minutes every close, generating disputes every shift, and probably making errors that compound into bigger payroll issues.
- →Closing manager spends 30+ minutes calculating tip pools every night.
- →Servers argue about whose tips counted toward the pool and whose didn't.
- →Tip-outs to bar-backs, runners, and bussers get inconsistent, generating turnover.
- →Errors compound into payroll headaches that surface a week later.
What tip pool automation gets you.
Real outcomes from restaurants and bars running tip pools on Reyna Pay.
Tip pooling is math, math should be automated.
Once you set your rules, the system handles every shift, every cycle, every staffer. The closing manager closes out the night and goes home. Servers see their distribution in their portal. Disputes vanish.
Features built for tip pool management.
Flexible rule configuration
By hours worked. By section. By role (server vs. bar-back vs. runner). Custom percentages. Different rules for different shifts. Whatever your model, it's supported.
Automatic distribution at shift close
Manager closes the shift, system distributes tips per rules, every staffer's portal updates with their share. Closing manager goes home.
Staff transparency
Each staffer sees their own distribution per shift, per pay period. The math is provable. Disputes drop to near zero because everyone can see exactly how their share was calculated.
Section, role, and custom rules
Different sections of the floor on different rules? Different roles getting different percentages? Bar-backs vs. servers vs. food runners? Configure each independently.

Common questions about tip pool management.
Yes. Some service types contribute to the pool, others go directly to the server. Configurable per service category.
Some businesses pass the credit card processing fee on the tip portion to the staffer; others absorb it. Both supported, configurable per the rules you set.
By role, yes (some roles are pool-required, others optional). By individual, generally no, but custom configurations are possible.
Some jurisdictions allow tip pooling between FOH and BOH; others don't. The system supports either model. We don't provide legal advice on what's allowed in your jurisdiction.
