DishOut is a tip management platform for hospitality operations, with tools to calculate, distribute, and report tips across one or more locations. Managers can configure percentage, point-based, or custom rules for different roles and service models. The platform connects to POS systems to bring in sales, tip, role, and shift information for calculations and reporting. Its listed integrations include Clover, GoTab, Lightspeed, Oracle Micros, NCR Aloha, OLO/Omnivore, PosiTouch, Square, Toast, Homebase, and TimeForge. Tips are sent digitally under the configured rules; ACH payments take 1–3 business days after shift close, depending on setup and payment method. Exportable reports cover allocations, payouts, and historical records for payroll and audits. Staff can view tip data, payments, and reports in the mobile app, and DishOut is available on Android, iOS, and web. The company says it supports accurate tip tracking and payroll records, but does not replace legal or accounting advice. A free trial is offered, but its duration and terms are unspecified.
