What Tip-Pooling is

Tip-Pooling is a paid web service that automates restaurant tip pooling, calculations, sharing, and distribution. Rules can use employee roles, hours worked, sales, or percentage splits. The service supports card tips, cash tips, service charges, and digital tip payouts, and says it pulls tip information from POS systems and sends distributions to payroll. Employees can see a real-time breakdown for each shift, while audit-ready compliance logs record every shift. Its Everything Included plan costs $49 a month, billed at $49 per store per month, with unlimited employees per store. The plan has no setup fees or contracts, can be canceled anytime, and includes ongoing onboarding and support. The company says most restaurants can start in less than a week with help connecting systems, importing employees, and configuring rules. It is intended for restaurants, bars, hotels, and hospitality teams ranging from small groups to multi-location operations. Headquarters are in Costa Mesa, California.
