POS Tips & Waiter
Odoo 17 Community & Enterprise
Track tips & assign waiters

  • ✔ Unified waiter + tip screen with inline calculator
  • ✔ Keyboard shortcuts for fast tip entry
  • ✔ Tip & Grand Total on receipt
  • ✔ No accounting impact — pure internal control
  • ✔ Tips report with date filters & Excel export
  • ✔ Multi-company support

User Guide

1.1 Payment Screen

The Waiter button appears in the right panel (above Customer). When a waiter and tip are assigned, the button shows the waiter name with a green tip badge. The payment section (Remaining, Total Due, Change) stays 100% native — the tip does not affect the payment amount, cash register, or accounting.

Total DueOrder total only (native Odoo). Tip is NOT included.
RemainingNative calculation. Based on order total.
ChangeNative calculation. Based on order total.
How it works: The cashier processes the payment for the order total only. The tip is recorded for internal tracking (waiter reports) but does not flow through Odoo's payment system. This ensures zero impact on cash register, accounting, and session closing.

1.2 Waiter & Tip Screen

Click the Waiter button from the Payment Screen to open the unified screen. Select a waiter and enter the tip — all in one place, no extra popups. The tip is for internal control only and does not affect the payment amount.

1.3 Printed Ticket

The receipt shows TIP and GRAND TOTAL right after the order TOTAL. The waiter name is NOT printed — that is internal data only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before Purchasing
Is it hard to install? How long does it take?
No — it takes under 2 minutes. Download the ZIP, extract to your addons path, restart the server, and install from the Apps menu. Enable "Tips & Waiter (QT)" in the POS settings and you're ready to go.
Does it work without pos_restaurant?
Yes. This module only depends on point_of_sale and hr. It works in any POS configuration — retail, restaurant, or kiosk.
Does it support multi-company?
Yes. Each POS config can enable/disable tips independently. The tips report filters by the active company. Employee lists respect company boundaries.
Does it work with Odoo Online (SaaS)?
No. This module requires custom addons installation, which is only available on:
  • Community (self-hosted) ✔
  • Enterprise on-premises (self-hosted) ✔
  • Odoo.sh (cloud managed) ✔
  • Odoo Online (SaaS) ✘
About the Module
Does the tip affect accounting?
No. The tip is stored as a separate field on pos.order for internal control only. It does not create journal entries, tax lines, or affect the order total in Odoo's accounting. This is by design — the module is meant for internal tip tracking, not accounting.
Can I use this with Odoo's native Tips?
Yes. This module uses different fields (qt_tip_amount, qt_waiter_id) and does not interfere with the native tip system (iface_tipproduct / tip_amount). Both can coexist without conflicts.
Can I add a tip without a waiter?
No. A waiter must be assigned first. The tip calculator is disabled until a waiter is selected. This ensures every tip is linked to an employee for accountability.
Can I edit the tip from the backend?
No. The fields Waiter, Tip, and Grand Total are read-only in the backend. Tips can only be set from the POS frontend to maintain data integrity.
Will it slow down my POS?
No. The module only adds a button and a lightweight screen. Employee data is loaded once when the POS session starts. There are no background processes, no extra API calls during normal operation.
