Two different sessions with Eric, going over tips, payments, and use cases and scenarios. Our first session was in the morning from 9:30-10 am. I had to bail out to meet with Cory and Shari O. We met up again at 11 and did some more talking and discussing. The main goal was tips, flow, and keeping financials in balance and in good shape. We also talked about either creating and/or using some mappings for new expense types and/or deposit types. We talked alot about EMV/chip readers, tips, and how to handle those credit card type transactions. We also talked about cash/check scenarios and how that is sometimes treated differently for tips and repayment.

Each corporation does their own stuff and handles tips in their own way. Some treat it as cash and cash out every night. Others hold it, track it, and pay it back out with payroll, taxes, and a rolling payment method. Lots of companies in between, including some companies that don't allow or don't even deal with tips. Lots of possible scenarios.

Some of our discussions got off into the weeds a bit. Adilas is so flexible, we allow our clients to sort of make up their own rules. That is great, but we may also need a way to help steer them in a good direction and/or help them enforce their own rules. If we create something, we can't just take that away. We have to leave it alone so that it can play through any past transactions or user history actions. That complicates things a bit.

We talked about a dedicated tip screen on the checkout process. That would help us gather the correct information and even provide us with enough information to process things how we need to, to keep everything inline.
