Spreadsheets Are Costing You Your Best Staff
Managing tip distribution shouldn't be the hardest part of your day
Tip-Outs Take Too Long
You're doing math on a napkin after close when you should be going home. Every shift feels the same way.
Staff Don't Trust the Numbers
"Why did I make less than last Tuesday?" becomes a nightly conversation because there's no clear record.
Spreadsheets Break
One wrong formula and everyone's payout is off. You can't throw away last week when someone complains.
Inconsistent Rules
Different managers calculate tip-outs differently. Your rules change, and it creates friction.
Turnover Gets Worse
Good servers leave because they don't believe the math. Training new staff costs more than fixing this.
How It Works
Three steps. Same process every shift. No surprises.
Enter Shift Data
Type in your sales and tips. Takes 2 minutes. No POS connection needed—manual entry works perfectly.
You control what goes in. Nothing automatic you can't verify.
Apply Your House Rules
Set up your tip pool structure once. Point systems, hourly splits, support staff percentages—whatever you use today.
The math happens instantly. Same rules, every time.
Review and Share
See the breakdown before anyone else. Approve it. Staff can log in and see exactly how their tips were calculated.
You stay in control. They get transparency.
POS integrations (Toast, Square, Clover) coming soon—but not required to get started.
The Single Source of Truth for Tips
One system. Clear rules. No arguments.
Manager Approval
You review every result before staff sees it. Approve or edit—you control when it goes out.
Consistent Calculations
Your house rules, applied the same way every shift. No manager variance.
Staff Transparency
Everyone logs in and sees exactly how their tips were calculated. Kills the "how did you get that number?" conversation.
Audit Trail
Every shift generates a record you can show to staff, payroll, or your accountant. No more recreating the math months later.
Daily Workflow Dashboard
Enter shift data in under 2 minutes. Review calculations for FOH and BOH before approving.
Payroll-Ready Exports
Exports formatted for payroll systems like QuickBooks, ADP, and others.
When Staff Trust the Numbers, They Stay Longer

See Their Own Breakdown
Staff can log in and see exactly how their tips were calculated. No more 'trust me, I did the math.'
Fewer Disputes
The system shows the work. Point systems, hourly splits, support staff percentages—all visible. No perception that something's off.
Built-In Fairness
The same rules apply every time. No manager variance, no perception that closing gets better tips than lunch.
