From the floor
In two weeks I'd already made more in tips than the previous month. And I never have to wait for someone to count out cash at end-of-shift.

    Capabilities

    What an operator actually gets back.

    Six concrete outcomes — measured on the floor, not in the pitch deck.

    Tap. Done. Two seconds.

    Guests tip in less time than it takes to thank your bellhop — even when they have zero cash on them.

    Never miss a tip moment.

    Whatever your guest carries — wallet, watch, or card — your terminal accepts it. No "sorry, cash only."

    Visa Mastercard Amex Apple Pay G Pay

    Your property, on every screen.

    Each prompt mirrors your brand — guests recognize you on the device before they ever tap.

    Audit-ready, day one.

    PCI-DSS, P2PE, tokenized end to end. Your finance team gets the certificates, your IT team gets a quiet inbox.

    Walk-home pay.

    The tip a guest leaves at 9pm lands in your team's account before they clock out at 11.

    Lower turnover. Higher tips.

    Properties on Tap-to-Tip report sharper tip volume and measurably better frontline retention.

    The Difference

    Tap-to-Tip vs. the POS bolt-on.

    Most digital tipping today lives inside someone else's checkout screen. Here's what changes when tipping is purpose-built for the property — not bolted onto the till.

    Tap-to-Tip Platform

    All Features
    Where it lives
    At every service moment — front desk, valet, housekeeping, spa, banquet. Not just the till.
    Guest experience
    A dedicated device that invites recognition — no awkward "is this for me?" prompt mid-checkout.
    Employee earnings
    Same-shift settlement. The tip leaves the device and lands in the staff member's account before they clock out.
    Brand presence
    Your property's name on the screen — not a processor's logo or a generic POS UI.
    Independent of your POS
    Works alongside whatever ran at your front desk yesterday. No POS migration. No vendor lock.
    The alternative

    POS Bolt-on Tipping

    Limited
    Where it lives
    Only where a POS exists. Front desk, valet, housekeeping, spa — mostly invisible.
    Guest experience
    A tip prompt squeezed into checkout. Often skipped, often feels coercive.
    Employee earnings
    Paid through payroll cycles. Staff wait days or weeks for tips they earned that shift.
    Brand presence
    The processor's UI. Generic prompts, generic look, no property identity.
    Coupled to your POS
    If you change checkout vendors, the tipping flow goes with them. Hostage by design.

    Built for properties, not POS bolt-ons.  See how it deploys alongside your existing stack.
