Client wants to say thanks with a tip? Simple Salon takes it as part of the sale and keeps a running total for each operator, so nothing gets lost at the end of the day.
1. Turn tips on
Click your profile in the bottom left of the main menu and choose Settings. Search for tips and open Cash Register (POS). Switch on Enable Tips.
Want every tip to default to a set percentage of the sale? Choose one from the Automatic Tip Percentage drop-down. Leave it on None if you'd rather pick the amount each time.
2. Add the tip at Receive Payment
Build the sale as normal in POS, then hit Receive Payment. You'll see an Add Tip button in the top right corner.
Click it and pick a percentage: 10%, 15%, 20% or 25%, worked out on the sale total. Or hit Custom to type in the exact amount the client wants to give.
3. Split it if more than one operator was involved
If the sale has more than one operator on it, you'll also see Tip Divided Through. Choose All Operator in Sale to split the tip evenly, or Custom to set a different share for each operator.
Hit Save once you're happy with the amount and the split.
4. Finish the sale as normal
The tip is added straight into the balance due, so whatever payment method the client uses covers the service total plus the tip together. Hit Finish Sale to complete it. Changed your mind? The button now reads Change Tip so you can go back in and adjust it before finishing.
5. Keep track of your tips
Go to Reporting, open Report List, then Operator Report. Each operator has a Tips column showing the dollar amount and, in brackets, how many tips they've had over the date range you've selected.
