Problem
Hospitality venues rely on cash or manual point‑of‑sale processes for gratuities, which creates friction for guests, limits tip amounts, and makes it difficult for managers to track staff performance and turnover.
Solution
TIPMO offers a cashless tipping platform that uses custom‑branded NFC tags assigned to individual employees. Guests simply tap their smartphones on a staff member’s tag, opening a browser‑based payment screen that accepts Apple Pay or Google Pay in under ten seconds, with an optional service rating. The system operates without any POS integration or IT deployment, allowing properties to launch in days. Tips are transferred instantly to the worker’s digital wallet, while real‑time analytics and performance dashboards provide property managers with actionable insights on tip volumes, staff ratings, and turnover risk.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hotels, resorts, golf courses, and restaurants that want to modernize gratuity collection and improve staff retention.
