TipJar is tip pooling and payroll automation for independent and small-scale restaurants still stuck closing out nights in spreadsheets. Connect Toast POS, Winston POS, Focus POS, Clover POS, or Square POS, apply your tip-sharing rules, and export payroll-ready reports — without the enterprise bloat.
Pull tips and timecards straight from your POS, run your pools the way you already do them, and finish payroll in minutes. Built for operators who want the useful parts — and none of the extras they don't.
If tip-out math still lives in Excel at 11pm — copying POS exports, chasing voids, and hoping the split adds up — TipJar was built for you. Not for enterprise rollouts. For the operators who need tip pooling and payroll automation that just works.
Tip Jar is the best by far!
Each restaurant has a different way of tipping out. I use this at both of my restaurants, and they are even different! Hunter was able to build out separate formats, but also the same. Using this for multiple restaurants is very simple, you just toggle between the two on the top right! The way our tip outs were done prior took too much time out of the day! Now all I have to do is check time management and send it off to payroll!
Rules-based tip pooling and payroll automation that stays in sync with your POS — without the bells and whistles independent restaurants don't need.
Build flexible pools by role, shift, or sales category. TipJar calculates tips at the time of sale, accounts for refunds and adjustments, and produces a clear audit trail for every distribution.
TipJar pulls timecards, calculates regular and overtime hours ,and produces clean, payroll-ready exports — so your bookkeeper isn't stitching together CSVs the night before payday.
Every cent is traceable back to the ticket it came from. Catch missed punches, refunds, and edits automatically — and give your team transparency they actually trust.
TipJar syncs sales, tips, and timecards from your POS so tip pools and payroll exports stay accurate without manual entry — same workflow whether you run one location or several.
