CloudApper Tip Management
CloudApper Tip Management is software that pulls tip and time data from a point of sale and an HCM (HR and payroll) system, applies a business's tip pooling rules, lets a manager approve the result and syncs the amounts to employee timecards. It is a product of CloudApper AI, which builds add-on apps for HCM platforms. It is sold to restaurants, bars, hotels and other tipped-wage employers that already use a large HCM system.
