There are a few different methods but here’s mine:
1. The SSV prints the report with the number of hours everyone worked that week and gets the cash out of the safe. At the end of the report is a line with the total hours worked
2. Count all the cash
3. Divide total cash by total hours - this is the tip rate in dollars per hour. Round the tip rate *down* to the nearest dollar
4. For each partner, multiply their hours by the tip rate and round up or down to the nearest dollar. That’s the amount each partner gets in tips

I'll add that I make myself a tiny note about who is near the $.50 cut off for rounding either way (dot on the left for someone who may get rounded down instead, dot on the right for someone who may get rounded up instead). If I end up a dollar or two off due to rounding errors, it goes to or comes from whoever was the closest in the appropriate direction.

This is how I do it.
First, I round up or down everyone’s hours and add them all together to get a new amount of tippable hours. It usually isn’t too far from the actual amount of hours. Then I divide the tips by the new total of hours. That’s the tip rate. I round to the second decimal. I multiply everyone’s rounded hours by that tip rate and round up or down to the nearest dollar. Then I add up all the tips everyone is supposed to get so I know how much money I need to distribute. Sometimes I need to grab a dollar or two from the tip jar out front or I have a couple extra that I will put back to make sure everything is perfect. I don’t know if this is the official way to do it but without all the rounding I do and coming up with new numbers I am always off by a lot and I ended up taking it out of my own tips. This way the margin of error is much smaller and my SM was actually the one who suggested I do it this way. It sounds complicated but for me this ensures I give everyone exactly what they’re owed and I’m not as anxious about messing up anymore.

What they said, and I always counted everything twice because sometimes bills can stick together and sometimes mistakes just happen. Doing tips is really straightforward, you should get the hang of it pretty quick.
I did all my math first (calculate tip rate and amount per person) and then I'd write all the amounts on the printout with the names and hours. Then it's easy to check off each name as you go down the list once you've counted out each person's money so you don't lose track of who's next.
