For a taco truck, tip management is about asking the same way every time and paying people from a report, not from memory.
For a taco truck, the detail that matters is this: this is a cash-and-card business with a lot of walk-up cash, quick taps and tip prompts that customers often use. Cash is recorded in the system so end-of-night counts reconcile.
Suggested tips are chosen to fit the typical ticket.
The prompt appears before the card is read.
Each tip is attributed to the employee on the sale.
Shift and employee reports drive the payout.
Tips are part of how many staff are paid, which makes them a fairness and morale topic, not just a setting. A clear, consistent way of asking and a report that matches payouts keeps arguments out of the back office.

Installation is on site: hardware set up and tested, your items and modifiers programmed, printers and drawers connected and your staff walked through a practice rush.
