Employee Tips

[eda]

so im opening up a tunnel wash, and am figuring out the hourly wages and tips. how do you guys handle recording tips?

1) is it like a dining establishment where an employee fills out a form and submits to you?
2) do you just get a verbal number to report to payroll?
3) do you pay them less then minimum knowing they will be making at least $3 an hour in tips?
4) is it your manager who tally's hours vs tips to handout hourly? i prefer a collection box, that is why i ask this question.

thanks,
eda

Usually in a Automatic Car Wash tips are not always a guarantee so I wouldnt recommend running it like a restaurant.

This will not answer all of your questions,.... But I would suggest reading this:
