Shift review is an end-of-day reconciliation process where employees collect their non-cash tips (such as credit card tips). You can configure whether these non-cash tips are paid out from the cash drawer during shift review, or paid out through payroll. Cash rounding on tip payouts only applies when tips are paid out from the cash drawer.
Before you can configure cash rounding, you need to first enable non-cash tips to pay out from the cash drawer as part of your shift review setup. You can enable cash tip payouts from the Quick shift review setup or Advanced shift review setup pages in Toast Web. For more information, see Configuring your shift review.
To enable cash tip payouts from the Quick shift review setup page

Go to Employees > Shift review > Shift review setup.

Under Payout options > Cash rounding, choose one of the following options:
