Do any of you have standard policies on how you handle larger than normal tips on large bulk orders? We recently had a large catering gig that was over $1,500 and resulted in a $250 tip.
Since this order caused some of my cooks to come in on their days off & everyone to pull some extra weight in store we split the tip up among the in-store crew & the driver.
The rub comes with our driver who made three different large drops for the order. For the three deliveries the driver walked away with the $3 delivery fee and a $40 tip. The driver was pissed off that they only got $40.
Personally I think the driver is spoiled and a $40 tip is great. We are looking to formalize our tip split policy for large orders like this in the future and I wanted to know if any of you guys have policies in place already that work well.
