Rules Engine

Commission structures as complex as your comp plans

Flat fees, percentage splits, tiered escalators, per-bottle bonuses, and hybrid combinations — all running simultaneously across every revenue-generating role in your building.

Role-specific rules
Hosts, promoters, servers, bartenders, and street teams each get their own commission structure running in parallel. One engine, unlimited configurations, zero conflicts.
Tiered escalators
Commission rates that climb as earners hit thresholds. 10% on the first $10K, 15% above $10K — whatever structure drives the behavior you want. The engine handles the math.
Event-specific overrides
Holiday weekends, headliner nights, and promotional events get their own commission rates. Override the defaults for any event without touching the base structure.
Split commission support
When a host books the table and a promoter brings the guest, both get paid. Configurable splits ensure fair attribution when multiple contributors drive the same sale.
Hybrid combinations
Flat fee per arrival plus a percentage of table spend plus a per-bottle bonus — stack as many commission triggers as you need within a single structure.
Real-time calculation
Commission totals update within seconds of POS transactions processing. No waiting until end of night. No manual tallying. The number your team sees is the number they earned.
Payouts & Accountability

Trust the number. Trace every dollar.

Commission disputes kill morale. The engine eliminates them with real-time visibility for earners, approval workflows for finance, and an immutable audit trail for every cent.

Live earner dashboards
Hosts and promoters see their running commission total on their phone while the night is still happening. Broken down by table, by guest, by trigger — complete transparency.
Commission statements
Individual line-item statements sent to every earner with full detail on what triggered each commission dollar. No more "how did you calculate that?" conversations.
Payout approval workflow
Finance reviews and approves commission payouts before they hit payroll. Exception flagging catches outliers. Nothing goes out the door without a sign-off.
Dispute resolution
Team members flag discrepancies directly in the system. Managers review, investigate, and resolve with a documented audit trail. Disputes are resolved within the pay period.
Historical reporting
Commission trends over time by individual, role, and venue-wide. See who's consistently earning, who's trending up, and where your commission dollars are actually going.
Exportable payout reports
Reports grouped by pay period, formatted for direct integration with payroll. Approved commissions flow into payroll as variable compensation — no re-entry required.
Connected

Every revenue event triggers the right commission

The commission engine listens to every module that generates revenue. When a bottle sells, a guest checks in, or a reservation converts — the calculation fires automatically.

POS Integration
Bottle and cocktail sales trigger spend-based commission calculations the moment the transaction processes.
VIP Reservations
Host-attributed reservations trigger booking commissions at the moment of confirmation. Attribution is locked from the start.
Guest List
Door check-ins trigger arrival-based promoter commissions. Promoters see the notification the second their guest walks in.
Promotions
Street team conversions trigger performance commissions tied directly to promo codes and attribution links.
Payroll
Approved commissions flow directly into payroll as variable compensation. No export-import dance, no manual entry.
Tip Pooling
Commissions and tips are tracked separately but visible in a unified earnings view — one screen shows everything an earner made.
