What is Tronc

Tronc ensures fair and transparent distribution of tips among employees, especially when multiple people (kitchen staff, waitstaff, bartenders, etc.) contribute to the service.


How to set up Tronc

  1. Go to Hour Type in the configuration(the cog icon in the top right-hand corner).

  2. Define any hour types that should be included in Tronc. Only hours worked under these selected hour types will count toward an employee’s Tronc hours calculation.

  3. Go to Rota Management and exclude any rotas that should not be included in the Tronc calculations, such as a management rota.

  4. Go to Employees and assign a Tronc rate to each employee in the Employment section. This rate determines how tips are shared. For example, if all employees have a rate of 1, tips will be split equally based on the number of Tronc hours worked.

Once set up, you can use the End of Day report to add the tips. If Tronc is calculated weekly, enter the total tips on the End of Day report for the last day of the week. Tips are recorded in three categories: cash tips, gratuities (from card payments), and service charges.
