What eTip is

eTip is a digital tipping and tip-management platform for hospitality and service businesses. Guests can scan a QR code to tip without downloading an app, while managers configure tip pools and splits for individuals, rooms, shifts, departments or custom criteria. Employees can receive payouts through debit cards, ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App or an eTip card. For payroll and recordkeeping, eTip provides automated IRS-compliant tip reporting, export-ready payroll data and transaction audit trails. Its real-time dashboards show tip activity, and guests can leave ratings, reviews and feedback about team members. Listed payroll integrations include ADP, Workday, UKG and Dayforce; POS connections include Toast, Agilysys, Micros, Square and Aloha. Businesses can apply their own branding to the interface, messaging and guest experience. The employee app lets team members review tips and transactions, see customer feedback and initiate payouts to a preferred account. eTip is available on Android, iOS and the web. Pricing is on request; its custom-priced plan includes unlimited team members, storage and training. eTip states that its platform is PCI DSS and SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts tips and transactions.
