Tips

Kennel Connection only lets you add one tip per receipt.  If you need to add a tip for multiple employees, you'll need to enter it on the invoice as a line item.


Tips on the invoice


First, click on File, Inventory, Categories.  You can either add one Tip category to cover all employees, or you can setup a category for each employee to you can get a total per employee.


Hit New, enter the item and Save when done.   In this example, we're going to add a tip category for Annie, Camilla and Jane.



Next, click on Inventory and add an inventory item for each employee, or one item called Tip if you want to group them together.


Hit New, enter the info and hit Save when done.




Now you are ready to add tips.  Let's say you do a groom and bath.  Jane gets a $5 tip and Camilla gets a $13 tip.  On the invoice, go to the next blank line item and choose Tips for Jane, enter $5 and then on the next line choose Tips for Camilla and enter $13.



When it's time to pay employees, click on Reports, Revenue, Sales report.  Choose Select one category and the ".." button.  Choose the categories for this report.



The report will show the tip amounts for each employee.
