What Poolfair does

You're the shift lead, it's 1 a.m., and seven people are waiting to be paid out of one envelope. Poolfair turns that pile of cash and a stack of hours into a fair, defensible split in under a minute, then hands you a record you can actually stand behind. Poolfair is the divider's tool. Most tip apps log what one server personally earned; Poolfair is the math for the person who has to share the pool out at close. Enter the night's total, add your crew, punch in each person's hours or points, and choose how the house divides. Split equally when everyone pulled the same weight. Weight by hours worked so the closer who stayed late gets their share. Use a points system when a senior server counts for more than a barback. Assign fixed role percentages the way many houses already do, servers 60, bussers 20, bar 15, host 5. Run a hybrid that blends hours and points. Or take a flat tip-out off sales for support staff. Whatever method your room uses, Poolfair handles the cents, the rounding, and the one leftover penny so the totals always reconcile back to the dollar you started with, every single time. It also knows the rules that get owners sued. Under federal law, managers and supervisors may not keep tips from a mandatory pool, full stop. Poolfair lets you flag a person as manager-excluded so they show on the shift roster but stay out of the distribution automatically. That matters more than ever: in January 2025 the Department of Labor reaffirmed that anyone meeting the executive duties test cannot draw from an employer-mandated pool, and in March 2026 a Texas court handed down a roughly twenty-one million dollar judgment over tip-pool mistakes. A clean record of exactly how each pool was divided is no longer a nicety, it is protection. That is why every close becomes a signed, dated split sheet. One screen shows the pool total, the method used, each person's hours or points, the amount they received, and anyone excluded and why. Review it, sign off, and archive it. Months later you can browse and search your past closes to answer a payroll question or settle a dispute without guessing. And none of it ever leaves your phone. Poolfair never asks for a login, never syncs to a server, never sees your sales, your staff names, or your numbers. There is no account to create and no cloud to trust. Every record lives on this device and only this device, fully offline. The core splitter is free forever.
