A big frustration for the service industry is tracking employee tips. Since tips are often a majority of an employee's income and tax laws are changing, accurately tracking them is important. Tip Counter, an app for the iPhone, was designed to eliminate this problem.
After our post last week about a new law that requires restaurants to record automatic gratuity as employee pay, we heard a range of feedback from restaurant leaders. Some shared their experiences with adapting to the new law. Others shared concerns they see moving forward. One thing is sure: the new law has people talking.
Quick-service restaurants are virtually on every corner. The pizza places, burrito joints, and sub shops, we frequent all too often. Yet, we still aren’t sure how to tip at these establishments.
Do we cut back to five percent? Do we tip at all?
