There are two major tips calculation methods: manual and automatic (using formula).

Manual calculation method

With manual method a cashier/waiter may choose paid tips on Take Payment window (after pressing Close Order button). Tips option should be checked for this case on Take Payment window. In this method tips can be paid by any payment methods (cash, credit card and check).

Note: with this payment method tips are excluded from order's total. So order's total = subtotal + taxes (without tips).

Automatic calculation method

With automatic tips calculation the tips are calculated using the formula:
Tips = Subtotal * TipsRate
