Add up the tips you took home and divide by the hours you worked. In the example, $220.50 in tips over 10 h 30 min (10.50 hours) is about $21.00 in tips for each hour.
What tips should I type?
Type the dollar amount you want counted for that shift, such as the total of cash tips and card tips you kept. HoursPad adds whatever you type. It does not say what counts as a tip or how tips are shared.
How do I enter a shift that ends after midnight?
Type PM for the start and AM for the end, like 6:00 PM and 1:00 AM. HoursPad counts through midnight.
