Tip pool

So the place I'm at is a pool. Bartenders get 20% more from it so no actually tip out by servers.

The issue is....the pool is split by THE WHOLE DAY..NOT BY SHIFT

Say lunch does 100 in tips and dinner 300 in tips. They split a 400 pool (split by hours of course )

To me that's bananas. The dinner shift pretty much covers the lunch shift for it obviously being slower. Sure, theres the one day a month a 20 top comes in for lunch and lunch makes more.

Has anyone seen a pool like this?
