Most full-service houses pass 20–30% of tips to support roles — bussers, barbacks, runners, hosts. The exact split should match who actually moved the service, and it should be written in your house policy before the shift, not negotiated after. This sheet is the close-out: screenshot it, print it, pin it where the count happens.
"Print close-out sheet" produces a one-page record — date, total tips, each role's pool and per-person amount — the version you hand to whoever counts the drawer. For a PDF, choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog.

For full-service dining, servers commonly keep 70–80% of tips and pass 20–30% to support staff. Busy bar programs often tip out 5–10% of alcohol sales to the bar instead of a share of tips.
Tips-based splits divide what was actually collected — simplest and most transparent. Sales-based splits (e.g. 3% of the server's sales) push risk onto servers but guarantee support staff earn on busy and slow days alike.
In the US, federal law bars employers — including managers and supervisors — from keeping a share of a mandatory tip pool under the FLSA. Always check current federal and state rules for your exact setup.
