pizza: If a pizza delivery brings your pizza and it costs 15.44 and you give him a 20 and tell him to keep the change, how does he keep his tip portion separate from the money that was for the bill.....how does he get is 4.54?|||I have been working at a pizza delivey store while going to college for the past two years, and here is how we do it: 1) Somebody orders a pizza, and that total goes into the computer. 2) When the driver delivers the pizza, the delivery he/she takes is assigned to his/her name in the computer. 3) At the end of the day, the driver takes all the money they have recieved from customers, and subtracts the total of all the deliveries they took. The leftover money is the tips they get to keep. ex: I take $500 worth of food, and i have $550 worth of checks, cash, and credit card reciepts. This means the $50 difference is mine to keep. P.S. I do not get paid gas money, so the tips that you give me is all i get, besides minimum wage, for risking my life to deliver your pizza. Pizza delivery is the ninth most dangerous job in America, coming before firefighters and policemen.

The last shop I worked at used a cash register method--very old fashioned. But, the basic method is as follows. Someone orders a pizza. It's put into the computer system and pops up on a dispatch screen in the driver's area once the pizza is out of the oven or just about out of the oven. The driver selects which order he is taking from the dispatch screen. In this case, it is an order for $15.44. the computer attatches that order to his/her name. So you give him the 20, tell him to keep the change. For me personally, I'd write down on a sheet that I keep in the car $4 as the tip--not counting the change--I just want an average if something seems off with what I owe at the end of the night. So anyway, once the driver is back at the store, he drops all of his cash into what is called a lock box--it's essentially a small locker for cash that no one can access except the driver. At the end of the night, the computer tallies all of his deliveries, how much he owes the store. What is left over are his tips. If the driver was like me, the ongoing tally in the car should be close if not over what the computer says. If the driver comes up short--because he has lost money or gave back the wrong change--he has to pay that out of pocket to the store. One guy I worked with actually lost over $400--never should have been carrying that much, that's why it is important to make a cash drop into the drop box after each delivery. Also, most drivers get paid gas money, and this is figured into each run either a dollar per run or a percentage of the total cost of the run, or a portion of the delivery charge. Unfortunately, the driver never sees the entire delivery charge.|||Most places, when he goes back he pays the register 15.44. ANything leftover is his.|||They just put back whatever they needed to collect|||i am not sure but i really want a pizza now, damn you!
