OK, Assume that I have $20 float (servers at my restaurant all keep their own float for change. It comes out of my wallet).
Say a table comes in and their final bill is $100. They tip nothing. Assume that this is the only table that I serve all night. (unlikely, but for demonstration sake)
The amount of cash that I'm holding right now is $120. $100 which belongs to the restaurant, $20 which belongs to me.
At the end of the night, I may have to tip out, say 3% of my
total bills/revenue to kitchen and house.
That means that when I am doing my cash-out, I have to give the $100 back to the restaurant and then I have to give out $3 tip to the kitchen and house.
I end up leaving with $17, which is $3 less than what I came to work with.
