You pick the items: drinks, desserts, larger sizes, add-ons. Each one a guest orders and pays for adds a share of that sale to the crew's pool. Nobody is scored, paid, or punished on whether they asked, so suggesting an item becomes an offer the crew actually means, made to a guest who might actually want it.
Every amount here is a Client setting, shown with example numbers.
Choose the add-ons worth offering: drinks, desserts, larger sizes, add-ons. Then set the crew's share of each one's sale, the most the rule can pay in a day, and the conditions a day has to clear before the pool pays. The share is of the item's own sale, never of the whole order.
WaveWage reads every ticket as it closes and looks for the items you picked. When one is on the ticket and paid for, its share goes into the pool. A ticket with none of them is just a ticket. Who suggested what is never recorded, because it is never the point.
Everyone clocked in while the rule runs sees the pool on their own phone and sees their split. A cookie on a ticket is a small number, and a few hundred tickets a day is not. The offer stays honest because the money only follows what the guest chose.
After close, WaveWage checks the day against your conditions, then pushes the pool into payroll as a WaveWage bonus paycode under a deterministic transaction id and verifies it landed. Nobody keys anything in.
The last hour before close pays the crew working it.
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.
Each completed job pays the person who did it.
The whole pipeline, ticket to paycheck.
We connect your systems and write your first rules with you, and the demo is free and unlimited until your POS is connected. Once you're live, plans run $3 to $5 per active employee. No new hardware, and payroll runs exactly like it always has.
An example day at a pita shop open 10:30 AM to 10 PM. From its menu the Client picks three items, fries, fountain drink, and cookie, and sets the example Upsell terms: a 10% crew share of each one's sale, at most $80 a day, running open to close. Through the lunch rush tickets ring at the counter and on the phone. Each picked item on a ticket adds its share on its own (a fries $0.28, a fountain drink $0.25, and a cookie $0.20), a share of that item's own sale. Jonah's phone shows the pool and Jonah's own share climbing through the evening, split by the minutes each person worked. By close 67 fries, 110 fountain drinks, and 41 cookies have landed and the pool stands at $54.24. After close the day clears its checks and the pool goes to payroll as 5 lines: Sam $8.42, Maya $10.12, Devon $13.89, Jonah $11.69, and Priya $10.12.
