Hey everyone,

I work on a commission structure based on my total sales plus tips. Lately, there’s been talk among staff that our salon's numbers and actual tips don't always match up with what gets reported back to us at the end of the month.

Before making any accusations, I want to keep a private, accurate record of every service and tip I take in.

For those in commission-based or service jobs, how do you track your numbers independently? Do you use a specific app, a custom iPhone/Android shortcut, or how?

Would love to hear what workflow works best for you so I can make sure I’m getting paid fairly without creating unnecessary drama. Thanks!
