[Updated for 2023] 7 Reasons Why You Need a Digital Tipping Solution

In the hospitality world, cashless payments now make up an overwhelming majority of sales. That means most restaurant guests are paying for meals either with credit cards or some form of digital payment (e.g., Apple Pay), and hotel guests are looking for cash-free alternatives to tip hospitality staff. The pandemic only accelerated this trend — making the need for digital tipping options more pronounced than ever before.

To be fair, restaurants and bars are also driving the increase in cashless transactions. Many brands now offer online ordering, and we’re seeing a rapid roll-out of mobile apps in recent years — which means, of course, that more customers are paying (and tipping) online.

Operating with little to no cash on hand has its perks, but it presents a major problem when it comes to paying out tips to employees. Many restaurants and bars have already switched to digital tip payouts — but for those that haven’t, now’s definitely the time.

Here’s everything you need to know about digital tipping and how to choose the right solution for your establishment.

What Does Digital Tipping Mean?

In hospitality, digital tipping, or digital tip payments, is the digital transfer of tip payments from one party to another. This can happen in two different ways:

A consumer digitally tips a service worker. This transaction is facilitated by tip acceptance software. For example, a hotel guest might scan a QR code or click a link in order to tip their bellhop on the spot.
An employer digitally pays out tips to their employees. This is facilitated by tip distribution or tip disbursement software. That means at the end of a shift, business day, or any designated pay period, employees receive their tips digitally. In other words: instead of paying out your bartenders, servers, and other floor staff in cash tips, you distribute tips instantly and electronically.

What is a Digital Tipping Solution?

Right now, there are two primary ways that employers can instantly and digitally pay out tips to their employees:

Pay cards: Also known as prepaid cards or payroll cards, pay cards are like debit cards in some ways. At the end of a shift, managers digitally load tips onto their employees’ cards. Technically, they’re “instant” — but unfortunately, prepaid cards can be problematic for restaurants. For one thing, these cards typically come with fees. They’re also not accepted by all vendors or at ATMs, and it can take days for funds to transfer from pay cards to employee bank accounts.
Instant tip payment platform: This is the “gig economy” approach to paying out tips. Much like Uber instantly pays its drivers, an instant tip payment platform allows managers to send tips to their employees’ bank accounts in real time. (It’s even faster than Venmo or PayPal, which put a hold on funds; with an instant tip payment solution, the money goes directly to employees’ accounts, no detours or waiting required.)

For the purposes of this article, when we talk about digital tipping solutions, we’re focusing on tip distribution software.

How Do Restaurants Pay Out Credit Card Tips?

Traditionally, restaurants and bars have paid out credit card tips in cash. At the end of a shift, managers would total each employee’s tips from credit card sales and pay them out based on their reported sales for that shift. The total amount of tips would be pulled out of the register or safe and divided up accordingly.

However, with an increasing number of customers paying with credit cards or digital payments, paying out tips in cash has become more difficult and time-consuming. Not only does it require restaurants to keep cash on hand that’s often not needed to fund their normal operations — but it also opens the door for potential discrepancies or errors when dividing up tips.

Enter digital tipping solutions, which eliminate the need for managers to handle and distribute cash tips. Instead, with tip distribution software, managers are increasingly able to track and pay out credit card tips electronically, saving time and headaches.

What are the Advantages of Digitally Tipping Out Your Employees?

When you digitally pay out your employees (instead of cash or payroll tips), everyone benefits: your employees, your managers, and your business. There are seven key benefits to making the switch to digital tip payments.

1. Cash Shortage Problem, Solved

As we move toward an increasingly cashless society, the cash shortage problem is one of the most compelling reasons to switch to digital tip payouts. For many restaurants, bars, and hotels, the pandemic was a major turning point: The percentage of credit card and digital transactions rapidly increased, meaning employers often didn’t have enough cash on hand to pay out tips at the end of the day or shift.

The great thing about digital tip payouts: you never have to worry about having enough cash in the safe at the end of a shift.

That means no more bank runs — giving your managers hours back in their week. And if you’ve resorted to paying for pricey armored car services? That’s an expense you can cut: Using a digital tip payout solution is only a small fraction of that cost.

2. Instant Access to Earnings

Many employees enter the hospitality workforce because of the promise of daily payouts. That’s been the industry standard for years — but given the cash shortages noted above, it’s increasingly difficult to ensure employees get their earnings at the end of every shift.

As a result, some employers pay out cash less frequently or make a drastic org-wide shift to payroll tips. But that can be problematic for employees who can’t afford to wait days or weeks for their pay.

Digital tipping solves cash management headaches while giving your employees the instant access to earnings that they expect and deserve.

As an added bonus, when you distribute tips digitally, the funds go directly to your employees’ bank accounts, wherever they bank, which promotes financial responsibility. Yes, earnings are immediately accessible — but your employees are less likely to make impulsive purchases when their money is in the bank, not on their person.

3. The Power of Choice

While instant, direct-to-bank tip-outs are often the best option for restaurant teams, it’s important to keep your employees in the driver’s seat when it comes to how they’re paid.

As noted above, some restaurants have dealt with a low-cash environment by switching from cash tips to payroll tips. And while payroll has its perks (e.g., low administrative burden), a unilateral change that causes financial strain can negatively impact recruiting, retention, and workplace culture.

On the flip side of that, you might have employees who are unbanked, meaning pay cards are the best cashless option.

The right digital tipping solution prioritizes flexibility, so you can give your employees options for how they receive their cashless tips without creating extra administrative burdens for you (or your bookkeeper).

4. Competitive Hiring Advantage

For years now, hospitality employers have faced a tough labor market. It’s always been hard to find and retain good talent — and now, with gig economy employers on the scene (think: Uber, DoorDash), it’s even more challenging.

Offering instant, cashless tip-outs is one of the best ways to stay competitive not only with other restaurants and hotels but also with the Ubers of the world.

As the hospitality industry continues to bounce back, those employers that offer digital tipping have found that it’s a useful recruiting tool and a true long-term retention play that’s “stickier” than one-time signing bonuses and other hiring gimmicks.

5. Reduce Liability and Room for Error

If you’re making bank runs or having cash delivered to your restaurant in order to distribute cash tips, you’re at a higher risk of theft and skimming. Plus, counting, recounting, and distributing cash leaves room for human error — and can lead to tip disputes, which aren’t fun for anyone. Digital tip outs solve all of these issues.

On top of preventing counting errors, digital tipping solutions can put up guardrails to prevent improper tip pooling practices. Restaurants and bars have a lot of tipping laws to keep up with — and these laws are almost always in flux. With software like Kickfin, you can stay in compliance with federal, state, and local tip laws, no matter where you live.

6. Keep Your Employees Safe

While digital tipping protects businesses from theft, it can keep your employees safer, too.

Many hospitality workers leave their shifts late at night with a pocketful of cash — making them incredibly vulnerable. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon to hear stories of unsuspecting employees getting mugged (or worse) after closing up.

While there’s a larger conversation to be had about ensuring the general safety of employees, making the switch to digital tips ensures your people aren’t walking out of your establishment in the wee hours of the morning with wads of cash in their wallets.

7. Save Time and Money

Digital tip payouts save restaurants time and money. They don’t require counting, recounting, and distributing tips, giving managers hours back in their weeks. And because there’s little admin work required, checking out at the end of a shift becomes much faster and more streamlined, reducing labor costs.

Digital tipping also solves for one of the hidden costs of cash tips: often, managers don’t have exact change on hand and they’ll round up to the nearest dollar. When that happens for every employee, after every shift, every day — well, it adds up. Digital tip payouts are always the exact amount an employee is owed, not a penny less or a penny more.

How Do You Choose a Digital Tip Payout Solution?

There are a couple of different options when it comes to digital tip payout solutions.

Pay Cards

Pay cards are one way to go when exploring digital tip payout solutions. A lot like debit cards, managers issue pay cards to employees and digitally transfer funds via an integrated software system at the end of each shift or pay cycle.

The money stays on the card and can be spent using the card itself or deposited into employees’ bank accounts. Or they can even withdraw money from it, just like an ATM card.

While pay cards might seem like a solid low-cost solution for employers, there are some major drawbacks to pay cards that put your employees at a disadvantage. Reasons to avoid pay cards include:

Hidden fees
Long transfer times
Low vendor acceptance
Fewer regulations

(For more information on why pay cards might not be the best option for your restaurant, see why Rock N Roll Sushi switched from pay cards to Kickfin’s digital tipping solution.)

Instant Tip Payment Platform

Another digital tip payout solution is Kickfin. In fact, it’s the #1 tip distribution software on the market.

Hospitality employers can set up Kickfin in one day — and it integrates with software you’re already using. Once you’ve uploaded your employees into the Kickfin portal, they can choose to enroll either by text message or email in seconds. Tips are transferred directly into their bank accounts instantly at the end of every shift, so there’s no more waiting hours (or days) to get what they’re owed.

The Kickfin platform is also a breeze to manage. You can add, remove, or edit employee information easily. Reporting features offer innovative tracking with the ability to roll up payments made over time across locations. Kickfin is safe and secure, meaning we’re 100% PCI compliant. Employees never have to share their personal banking information because it’s not stored in the system. And when you need reporting, download information seamlessly into a .csv file for easy EOY filing.

How the 2024 Presidential Election Could Affect Taxes for Tipped Employees

It’s an election year, in case you haven’t heard! 😉 This one has major implications for tipped employees — specifically, when it comes to taxes.

It’s no secret that our Democratic and Republican candidates are running on very different platforms. But when it comes to tip regulations, Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump actually both support reducing taxes on tips.

A little context on taxes and tips

We’re just going to state the obvious: For the average American, tax reporting can be pretty, pretty confusing. For the millions of employees working in tipped occupations — well, that creates another layer of uncertainties.

(Do I have to report my tips? Do have to report my cash tips? Will anyone know if I don’t report my tips? What happens if I don’t accurately or fully report what I earned?)

Historically, there’s been a trend of hospitality employees underreporting cash tips to prevent higher tax burdens. And while this may reduce what employees owe Uncle Sam in the moment, there can be downsides: e.g., if they find themselves eligible for unemployment, if they’re trying to qualify for an auto loan or mortgage, etc.

However, that urge to underreport could be relieved in the near future, given the tax code changes both of our presidential candidates have proposed. The TL;DR: Both Trump and Harris have voiced their intention to relieve some of the burden on tipped workers in restaurants, bars, hotels, and other service positions.

Here’s a quick summary of each candidate’s plan, as well as some potential impacts for restaurant employees.

Trump’s plan for tipped employees

Trump shared his plan to reduce tipped income tax burden at a rally in Las Vegas — fitting for a city that’s built on the gig economy. Nevada is home to the highest concentration of tipped employees who work in the many hotels, casinos, and restaurants that millions of tourists flock to annually.

During the rally, the former president announced that he would make tipped income exempt from federal income tax, stating it would happen “right away” when he takes office.

Since speaking at the rally, Trump has not yet clarified what this would mean for tipped employees. Many servers want to know if this is an exemption just on federal income tax or if the proposal includes payroll taxes (social security and Medicare).

Harris’s tip tax proposal

Harris also took the opportunity to speak on her tipped income policy while visiting Nevada. Much like Trump, she knew she’d have a captive audience when it comes to tipped earnings.

Her proposal promises to exempt tipped income from the federal income tax, but she has made clear that tips will still be subject to payroll taxes. While not yet confirmed, campaign insiders say Harris is considering placing some guardrails on her plan — like a caveat that the tax exemption only applies to employees earning less than $75,000 per year.

Is one plan better than the other?

In short: probably not. (Most service and hospitality workers do not earn above the $75,000 threshold that’s been suggested by the Harris campaign.) So either way, servers, bartenders, and hospitality staff can expect to see a lower tax burden during the next administration.

But what does that look like in practice?

Most tipped employees aren’t receiving their tips on payroll — they’re walking out of every shift with their earnings for the night, deduction-free. Instead, the taxes are paid on payroll out of their hourly earnings, which is why many servers get $0 paychecks every two weeks. With a reduced tax burden, most servers will see the difference in higher paychecks.

On the other hand, economists are wary of the impact of eliminating taxes on tips, citing the reduced funding for social security and Medicare. And with so much negative sentiment around “tipflation” these days, experts also speculate that a reduced tax burden may result in even more hesitance at the tip screen.

Increasing minimum wage

We’re closely following campaign promises about an increase to the minimum wage — especially in regards to the tipped minimum wage and the tip credit.

Minimum wage earners have been eyeing an increase, noting that the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour hasn’t increased since 2009, and servers, bartenders, and other tipped employees have been earning $2.13 per hour for over 30 years. An increased minimum wage paired with the reduced tax burden could make a major difference for service workers trying to keep up with the rising cost of living.

In the Harris camp, removing tax on tips is just part of the plan to take some pressure off service workers. While Harris hasn’t shared a detailed plan for bumping up the minimum wage, she has indicated that she would support an increase.

In previous election cycles, Trump stated that he would consider a minimum wage increase, but he has not shared his opinion on the matter during the 2024 presidential campaign.

Of course, we’re a ways out from any real policy changes actually shape — but if you’re looking to make your tip management process less taxing in the interim (see what we did there?), Kickfin is here for you! Check out how you can use Kickfin to auto-calculate tip pools and send payouts directly to employees’ bank accounts in seconds.

Top 4 Ways to Protect Your Restaurant from Cash Shrinkage

No matter what industry you work in, there’s always a risk for shrinkage and theft. Ninety-five percent of all businesses experience theft in the workplace, and up to 75% of employees have admitted to stealing from their employer.

Most of the time, it’s not intentional or malicious. For restaurants, it could be something as innocent as giving your friends a free drink or asking the kitchen for food and neglecting to ring it in.

But when you have a lot of employees handling cash day in and day out, it can be very tempting for someone to take advantage of systems and pocket extra money at your expense. To make matters worse: because cash is hard to track, it can be tricky for operators to put their finger on exactly what’s happening — at least, before it starts to impact your bottom line.

While cash shrinkage can jeopardize your business, operators do have the power to protect their restaurants. Ultimately, it comes down to having the right processes, systems and partners in place.

Here are 4 things you can start doing today to protect your restaurant from cash shrinkage.

1. Create a culture of trust with employees

Most people want to come to work, do their best, and make an honest living. Creating an environment where your employees trust you with their earnings should encourage them to also be responsible with company assets, including cash.

Of course, it starts with doing your due diligence when building out your team. That means interviewing new hires in person, asking the right questions, and always checking references.

But the fact of the matter is that even good people can make poor decisions, especially when they’re struggling. As an employer, there are things you can do to keep your staff from ever getting to a place where they feel the urge or need to steal. That includes:

Paying a fair and competitive wage
Paying wages on time, in full
Giving people instant access to their earnings
Offering employee benefits and perks if possible
Adhering to federal, state and local labor/wage regulations, especially as they relate to tips

Bottom line: If you show that employees you take their financial well being seriously, it can foster an environment of mutual respect, making employees less likely to consider theft as a reasonable (or justifiable) option.

2. Minimize cash touchpoints

It’s simple. Less cash on hand = less opportunity for cash shrinkage.

In the unfortunate case that a high-ranking employee is stealing from your restaurant, cash tip outs make it much more difficult to catch and trace. Anyone with access to cash registers and safes has the opportunity to take a few extra bills — and you may not notice until well after the cash is pocketed and spent.

Instead of locking up cash and making only a few employees responsible for the massive task of paying out tips, take advantage of new technology that eliminates cash from the tip out process. Fewer people will need to manage cash, which adds one extra layer of security against theft.

Bonus: cashless tipping vendors like Kickfin give your employees more flexibility with their earnings. They can opt for tips to be sent directly to their bank or to have them put on their payroll check, empowering employees to make their own financial decisions.

3. Create a digital paper trail

The trouble with cash is the inability to track it. Half the battle is realizing that the cash is missing; and once you know it’s gone — well, now what?

Digital gratuity management software makes it easy for restaurant operators to create a digital paper trail for all tip payouts. You’ll be able to identify any improper payments, who they went to, and who authorized the payout — removing a major security soft spot.

Not only will you feel more secure, but your loyal employees will thank you for making tip outs much easier.

4. Select a secure tip management partner

Removing cash-on-hand is a great first step, and it should make any potential theft traceable back to the person responsible. But wouldn’t you rather prevent theft before it happens?

If you’re ready to bring your gratuity management into the future, make sure to thoroughly vet your options — because not every digital tip out software has strong protections against theft.

That’s why Kickfin has optional guardrails that can mitigate your risk of employee theft.

Maximum tip amounts: Limit the amount that can be issued in any individual payout.

Role policies: Create policies to limit who can receive payments by role type, and limit who can send payments to themselves.

Multi-factor authentication: Set your own rules to require MFA at any point, whether at every login or once a month.

Payment interval approval: Trigger a requirement for second approval for an employee’s first payment or their first payment in a determined number of days.

Payment velocity approval: Trigger a requirement for second approval when an employee receives a determined number of payments within a certain interval.

For our POS integration partners, Kickfin can also put guardrails around your tip calculation policies to prevent fraud. While we offer the ability to send payments through manual entry, spreadsheet upload, or using our tip calculation software, integration users can disallow manual and upload payments to prevent any ad hoc payouts.

Integration users can also lock in their tip calculation rules, so that only certain users can make changes to the calculation policy.

How Kickfin helps in the event of fraud

Even without the temptation of cash in the safe, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

If you find yourself in a regrettable situation with an employee, your tip management partner should be there to back you up. Thankfully, our platform tracks each payout which will help you identify irregularities and the source of the problem.

The Kickfin team will always be there to support our partners who experience security breaches.

4 Ways to Save on Restaurant Labor Costs with Kickfin

In the restaurant industry, profit margins have always been tight — and these days, they’re only getting tighter.

Running a restaurant is a labor intensive business. You need a strong back of house team to push out food, front of house workers to greet and care for guests, and managers to keep everyone in check. Naturally, labor is one of the most significant expenses for restaurant operators. In order to keep costs reasonable for customers, even a slight overage on labor can break your budget — but thankfully there are levers you can pull to reduce labor costs.

If you want to secure your business’s financial future, you’re going to need to streamline scheduling practices and keep a close eye on labor costs… without frustrating employees who want more shifts.

Don’t worry: you can turn to traditional wisdom, sales forecasting, and emerging restaurant technology to make sure that you stay on budget.

Here are a few ways you can save on labor costs at your restaurant:

1. Rethink the schedule

Obviously, the most straight-forward way to cut labor costs is to reduce the number of people you schedule on a given night.

We get it — you don’t want to see hour-long ticket times and poor guest experiences. But you might not need as many folks on the line or servers on the floor as you think — at least, not all the time.

Staffing and scheduling isn’t a perfect science, but there are some tactics operators should test if they’d like to “right size” every shift — including:

Analyze your daily schedule. Don’t make assumptions about your peak times and slow periods. Analyze sales trends and let the data be your guide.
Anticipate seasonal trends. If you’re in a college town, don’t wait until your servers are twiddling their thumbs in July to implement a new summer schedule.
Let your seasoned staff shine. Your veteran employees likely thrive on those super busy nights when they’re running on pure adrenaline (and earning way more in tips). Consider giving more experienced workers more responsibility — assuming they’re willing and able — and you might be able to get away with fewer people on a shift here and there.

2. Assess and address productivity

Are you making the most of the team that you already have? There are a few ways you can identify your highest-producing employees and make the most of their success:

Evaluate employee performance. Most employees want to be successful; observe your team and analyzes things like sales per labor hour, table turnover rate, and tip volume to get a sense of your strongest players and those who could use more training (and bonus: this can reduce turnover and boost team morale)

Provide incentives. Create a fun bonus system that rewards strong performance and high levels of productivity. You can use data from the previous data point to set goals.
Cross-train employees. Training your staff to handle multiple roles – or hiring folks with vast service experience – offers flexibility for scheduling and can reduce your need for additional hires.

3. Don’t pay employees to wait for their tips

No, we’re not saying to cut all of your servers early (no matter how much they ask).

But, you can send your servers on their way much quicker when they don’t have to wait around for managers to count out cash tips. Once they’ve finished their sidework, servers can clock out and see their digital tips sent directly to their bank account, instead of hanging around on the clock waiting for the shift manager to do their check outs.

4. Prevent labor overages before they happen

Most restaurants simply can’t afford to pay overtime for staff. But sometimes your full-time staff creep toward 40 hours of work without anyone noticing…and suddenly you’re paying 1.5x what you expected for a single worker.

This, too, goes back to proper scheduling policies. Give yourself a bit of wiggle room for the employee who clocks in 10 minutes early or often takes a long time on sidework by never scheduling anyone for more than 38 hours each week.

5. Pay close attention to clock-outs

People make mistakes, and tired servers often leave their long double shift without clocking out for the night. Usually, they’ll realize their mistake and call the store to have someone clock them out (still adding extra time to their shift).

But sometimes, the clock keeps running all night, and no one notices until it’s time to process payroll. Two weeks later, your admin team is spending way too much time correcting clock-outs so that you don’t end up paying for 8 extra hours of work.

Try using technology that puts guardrails in place to prevent any clock-out mistakes before they happen. Kickfin doesn’t allow you to process and pay out tips until an employee is clocked out, so managers can make sure everyone is clocked out at the proper time.
