Divvy

What Divvy is

Divvy is restaurant tip management software that connects point-of-sale data to tip rules and shows employees and managers how each payout was calculated. It supports Toast, Square, Clover, Heartland and Shift4 (SkyTab), with CSV import for other data. Restaurants can set pools using even splits, hours, points, per-role rules or keep-your-own methods. Automatic tip-outs can route shares to support roles based on tips or sales, with caps so balances do not go negative.

Employees can check tips, hours, pay-period totals and real-time earnings through the employee portal and Tip Bank. Managers can review date-ranged earnings reports, export payroll data and track gross receipts for IRS Form 8027. Divvy’s audit log records payout breakdowns and history. The Hiring Hub includes job postings, applicant tracking, careers pages and onboarding into the team roster. Divvy runs in a browser on desktop, iPhone, iPad and Android; a native iOS app is in development. Core costs $39 a month per restaurant. Payouts costs $69 a month per restaurant and adds direct deposits to employee bank accounts via Stripe. A 14-day trial is available, and subscriptions can be canceled in the app at any time.

Who it suits

Divvy suits restaurants that need to calculate tip pools from POS data and give staff visibility into earnings. It also fits managers who need payroll exports, gross-receipts tracking, payout histories or hiring and onboarding tools.

Limits

The 14-day trial is the available trial period. Core does not include direct-deposit payouts; those are included in Payouts at $69 a month per restaurant.

Getting started

1. Open the Divvy website.
2. Start the 14-day trial; no card is needed to start the Core plan.
3. Choose Core at $39 a month per restaurant, or Payouts at $69 a month per restaurant for direct deposits.
4. Use Divvy in a browser on desktop, iPhone, iPad or Android.
5. Connect a listed POS system or import other data by CSV.
6. Set the tip-pool and automatic tip-out rules for your restaurant.

Verdict

Choose Divvy if your restaurant needs configurable tip pools, visible payout calculations and staff earnings access. The Core plan covers tip management and payroll exports; restaurants that need direct deposits must choose Payouts. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan or a finished native iOS app.
