TipPulse

TipPulse is a mobile + web app that tracks, allocates, and audits tips across shifts in real time—without relying on messy spreadsheets or POS exports that never match. Staff clock in, declare role/section, and tips are captured from card receipts (via POS integration where possible) plus cash entries with manager verification. The app automatically applies your house rules (tip pool %, role weights, support staff splits, break deductions) and produces a clear payout report per employee per shift. It also flags anomalies: unusually high voids, tip edits, comp spikes, or tip-to-sales ratios that don’t match historical patterns. Managers get an audit trail for every adjustment, and employees get transparent breakdowns to reduce conflict. This is not glamorous; it’s operational plumbing that restaurants actually pay for when it saves hours and prevents staff blowups.
