Say Hello to Earned Tip Access™ - Transforming Tip Distribution

In today’s fast-paced world, waiting is a thing of the past, and that includes waiting for tips. That’s where TipHaus steps in with Earned Tip Access® (ETA). ETA eliminates the traditional waiting period for employees to receive their tips, ensuring prompt access to their well-deserved earnings.

For managers and operators, ETA makes daily tip distribution effortless. It transforms the process, building trust and boosting employee satisfaction along the way. In this blog, we’ll break down how Earned Tip Access works and explore the many ways it benefits both your team and your business.

TipHaus is the industry expert on tip management, dedicated exclusively to helping restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues streamline their tipping processes. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, TipHaus goes beyond surface-level functionality to tailor every restaurant's tip structure to its unique needs. By focusing solely on tips, we deliver unmatched expertise and customization, ensuring our clients stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry.

Effortless Tip Distribution with Earned Tip Access®

The foundation of Earned Tip Access lies in pre-calculated tips, streamlining the entire tip distribution process. TipHaus's innovative technology seamlessly synchronizes real-time tip details with your point-of-sale (POS) system. Each employee's tip earnings are automatically pre-populated based on your established tip logic and daily sales data. This eliminates the need for manual calculations, tedious spreadsheets, and reduces the risk of errors and flawed employee records. Managers can be confident in the fair and efficient distribution of tips to their staff.

Daily Payouts for Managerial Peace of Mind

One of Earned Tip Access's standout features is the daily payout schedule. Managers initiate payouts the morning after a shift, with funds automatically debited from the operating account and deposited into employees' accounts. This system ensures timely compensation and alleviates financial stress for employees.

Managers play a vital role in maintaining the payout accuracy. They diligently review total tips, confirming the absence of errors or discrepancies in employee records, and then initiate payouts. This quick verification process enhances trust and transparency within the system.

The Employee Mobile App: Empowering Your Workforce

To enhance employee satisfaction and trust, TipHaus offers a dedicated mobile app. This app is designed with employees in mind and provides a range of benefits:

Real-Time Tip Data: Employees have access to real-time information about their tip earnings.

Reduced Disputes: With a 95% immediate reduction in employee-manager tip-related disputes, the app fosters a transparent work environment.

Peer-to-Peer Transfers: Employees can easily send tip earnings to one another, facilitating teamwork and camaraderie within the workplace.

Proof of Income: The TipHaus Employee App serves as proof of income for various purposes, including housing, car loans, and spousal support, making employees’ lives easier outside of work.

Seamless Enrollment: Employees can enroll in HausDirect or HausMoney directly from the TipHaus Employee App, allowing them to choose the payout method that best suits their needs.
