Claim 9:
10. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
establishing an encrypted communication channel with a point of sale (POS) device at a first location;
receiving over the encrypted communication channel from the point of sale (POS) device information including transaction information for a first transaction, including an instrument identifier, a first amount for acquisition of a first set of items by a first person, a second amount specified by the first person, and information enabling an identification of a service person involved in providing the first set of items to the first person at the first location;
tokenizing, using the POS device, at least a first item of sensitive data related to the first person before transmitting a corresponding token, wherein the first item of sensitive data is replaced with non-sensitive data so that the first item of sensitive data is not exposed during an authentication process;
decrypting, using a key, the information including transaction information for a first transaction, including the instrument identifier, the first amount for acquisition of a first set of items by a first person, the second amount specified by the first person, and information enabling an identification of the service person involved in providing the first set of items to the first person at the first location,
identify a first shift comprising a specified start time and a specified end time associated with the first transaction at the first location;
receiving a wireless communication from a first device;
authenticating an identity of a user associated with the first device as being the service person;
at least partly in response to authenticating the identity of the user of the first device as being the service person:
enabling, via the first device used by the service person, a user interface to be provided, the user interface including the second amount and an identification of one or more service people and/or groups of service people that are at the first location during the first shift comprising the specified start time and the specified end time;

receiving, via the user interface, an instruction from the service person to distribute at least a specified portion of the second amount to one or more specified service people and/or groups of service people that are at the first location during the first shift comprising the specified start time and the specified end time;
aggregating specified portions from one or more services persons, specified via respective networked devices over one or more encrypted communication channels, to be distributed to one or more specified service people that are at the first location during the first shift comprising the specified start time and the specified end time with the portion of the second amount thereby reducing a quantity of transactions needed, and correspondingly decreasing an amount of network, processor, and memory resources needed; and
communicating with one or more computer systems to cause the aggregated specified portions to be added by the one or more computer systems among respective destinations associated with the specified service people and/or groups of service people that are at the first location during the first shift comprising the specified start time and the specified end time.
