Employee card payment tab

I forgot to mention this in the closing post but it warrants its own post anyway.


We're going to have to start making two employee drink tabs: one for cash payment, one for card payment. By now, most of us know how to charge an employee drink without hailing a manager, and lately we've been doing that on the regular employee drink tab. When they're comped later, remaining amount is halved - this does not accurately reflect the actual comps made.


Example: Let's say I bought two shift beers that total to $13.00 - I only have to pay $6.50, so the remaining balance after my card is charged is $6.50. Later on, when closing manager does the comps, it will comp 50% of the remaining $6.50 rather than 50% of $13.00 like it should.


Even if you don't quite get it, just know: separate tab for employees paying for their drinks with card.


This also goes for half-off food paid with card.

Here are some drunk elephants.
