TipHaus

TipHaus is tip management software for restaurants, bars, hotels and other tipped businesses. It reads sales and time punch data from the POS, calculates tips under the operator's pooling rules, exports to payroll and pays staff daily through Earned Tip Access. Employees see earnings in a free app, and guests can tip by QR code. Pricing is by quote.
