Tippo

What Tippo is

Tippo is an Android and iOS app for restaurants to split and track tips across their teams. Managers enter the day's tips, which the app totals, and role-based percentages distribute each role's share according to hours worked. Staff can submit hours; managers can review or correct them and add shifts. Once a split is finalized, employees can see their own share and tip records in the app. Tippo provides reports for payroll, accounting, management, and review. Its Pro plan adds historical exports and advanced reporting and visualizations. The app also supports controlled tips and tip committees with record-keeping for tax purposes, and describes itself as built with CRA compliance in mind. Shift management is said to fit into an existing workflow, but specific integrations are not named. Tippo Core costs C$14.95 a month and Tippo Pro costs C$29.95 a month, both with unlimited staff. Founding Member costs C$9.99 a month and is limited to the first 99 restaurants. A 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
