The work a shift runs on, opening and closing checklists, prep lists, temperature and cooler logs, cleaning duties, line and lobby checks, is recorded as each job is completed, with a manager's approval where you require proof. You pick which jobs are tracked and what each completed job pays. Each person earns from their own record of completed work, paid to them alone.
Every amount here is a Client setting, shown with example numbers.
Choose which jobs on which lists are tracked, set what each completed job pays, and mark the ones that need a manager's approval before they count. A bathroom check and a full closing list do not have to pay the same. The terms are set before the shift and are the same for everyone on the list.
Every tracked job is recorded as it is completed, by the person who completed it, with the time on it. Where you asked for proof, a manager approves the job and the approval is what counts. The finished prep list and the half-finished one are now two different records.
On their own phone, each person sees the jobs open to them with what each one pays, the jobs they have completed, and what today has earned. No other person's record appears on it. Behind the scenes, the same record builds toward an endorsement badge, with the person's name on it, revealed when it is earned.
After close, WaveWage checks the day, then pushes each person's earned amount into payroll as a WaveWage bonus paycode, one line per person, under a deterministic transaction id, verified on the way back. The store pays a known amount for work it already depends on, and for the first time it can see which work that was.
The last hour before close pays the crew working it.
Chosen items add a share of each sale to the pool.
Wrong orders held below the store's own normal pay a period bonus.
Guests' own words, read in full, counted as wins and mistakes.
Showing up earns each person from their own record, paid alone.
An hour clears its expected number, the crew shares the dollars above.
The whole pipeline, ticket to paycheck.

An example Tuesday at a pita shop. The Client's example Store Execution terms: opening checklist $4, line check before the rush $2, bathroom check $1, cooler and temperature log $1, and closing list $6, the opening checklist and the closing list on a manager's approval, and at most $15 a person a day. Today's lists are laid out from 6 AM, each job at the time it is due. Through the day each job is recorded as it is completed and credited to the one person who closed it. Sam submits the opening checklist and Reyes approves it, which is what credits it. Devon, closing, sees the jobs open to them and what each pays, and reaches the $15 ceiling when the closing list is approved. After close the day clears its checks and goes to payroll as 5 lines, each paid to one person: Sam $5.00, Maya $4.00, Priya $2.00, Devon $15.00, and Omar $2.00.
