When it comes to tipping solutions, restaurant operators have a variety of options to choose from. However, not all platforms offer the same level of automation, flexibility, and innovation. In this analysis, we compare TipHaus to Kickfin and Gratuity Solutions, along with other options, to highlight why TipHaus is the best choice for streamlining tip management.
TipHaus, Kickfin, Gratuity Solutions, and other options provide basic tipping functionalities, including:
But that’s just the beginning, TipHaus offers additional features that take tip management to the next level, providing unique benefits that other solutions may not include. Here’s what makes TipHaus stand out:
Managing tip payouts manually can lead to errors, especially when shift adjustments or corrections occur after payments are made. TipHaus automatically reconciles any discrepancies in tip payouts within the same pay period, ensuring employees always receive the correct amount without added managerial workload. If an employee is underpaid or overpaid, adjustments happen automatically in the next payout, reducing payroll headaches.
TipHaus provides a free mobile app designed to boost staff satisfaction and provide full transparency.
Employees can:
This transparency boosts employee morale and trust in the system, something other providers don’t offer.

With Peer-to-Peer Payments, employees can securely share tips with teammates, similar to Venmo but designed specifically for restaurant workers. The key difference is that these Peer-to-Peer transactions are processed on the employee's next tip-out, however your business pays out tips.
Whether it’s a server rewarding a busser for exceptional work or a bartender thanking a colleague for covering a shift, TipHaus facilitates quick, secure, and automated tip-sharing between employees.

With the TipHaus employee app and daily tip payouts, Josh has streamlined operations and improved team morale. He highlights the platform’s peer-to-peer feature, which makes it easy for staff to transfer tips when someone lends a hand, keeping things fair and efficient.
Unlike other providers who distribute tips in bulk, TipHaus offers precise Time of Sale Tip Distribution, meaning tips are divided among employees based on the exact minutes they worked between the order being placed and paid. This ensures a fairer, more accurate distribution process.
Other platforms, like Kickfin, require businesses to maintain a float for tip distribution, which means extra costs and administrative hassle. TipHaus eliminates the need for a float fee, allowing restaurants to distribute tips efficiently without unnecessary financial burdens.

As the industry shifts toward cashless transactions, TipHaus stands out by offering QR Code Tipping, unlike Kickfin, Gratuity Solutions, and other providers. This contactless solution allows guests to tip instantly via their smartphones by simply scanning a QR code—improving convenience, security, and efficiency.
"Since the QR Code Tipping feature was introduced at Riverside Hotel, tips for less traditionally tipped roles like omelet cooks and shuttle drivers have increased by approximately 25%. We’re beginning to test this feature with housekeepers." – Jackie Hager, Controller & Owner of Riverside Hotel
