Cash Management & Tipping Payments
18 products listed
Introduction
Once the sale is made, someone has to count the cash, collect tips and share them fairly. This category covers software for those after-sale tasks. It includes digital tipping, where guests scan a code to tip staff by card, and tip management that calculates pools from sales data and pays staff. It also includes daily cash-up tools and pay platforms that let staff access earnings early. Some products are aimed at UK tronc schemes, which are separate arrangements for sharing tips. The 18 profiled products differ in who pays the fee, and whether the guest, the venue or the employee bears it.
Who needs it
Restaurants, bars and hotels that pay out tips or reconcile cash daily. It becomes worth having when cash tips are shared by hand, disputes about splits arise, or a manager spends hours on cash-up. Tip and tax treatment differs by country, so check local rules or ask an accountant before choosing a scheme.

What to look for
Who pays the fee. Profiles show fees taken from the tip, added as a fixed amount per tip, charged to the venue, or paid by staff to move money. Compare on a sample tip.
Collecting tips or splitting them. Some products only collect tips by QR code, while others calculate pools from POS data and pay staff. Decide which gap you have.
Payout speed and method. Tips can go to a bank account, debit card or wallet, and some pay within minutes. Check what staff must set up.
Country rules for tip schemes. Some products are built for UK tronc arrangements and others for US or French venues. Confirm the scheme fits where you trade.
Hardware, if any. Most profiled products need only a printed QR code, but some offer tip terminals or NFC wristbands. Extra devices add cost.
