Question

How do I properly record tips? I do books for a bar and most tips are paid by credit card, then reimbursed to bar staff in cash from cash bar sales.

When the credit card payments come in the tips are classified as a liability so they don't become part of the P&L statement, but cash to pay them to staff comes from cash sales. How do i properly record them?
