Problem
Many service industry staff rely on cash tips, but the increasing prevalence of cashless transactions makes it difficult for customers to show their appreciation. Existing digital tipping solutions often require app downloads or complex registration processes, creating friction for both customers and staff.
Solution

Customers can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any bank card to send tips without needing to download an app or register for an account. Staff receive instant notifications of tips and can track transactions via a personal dashboard, with options for immediate payouts. The platform supports both individual and common tip collection and distribution, automating calculations and ensuring compliance with regulations.
