Baristas, bartenders, valets, doormen, hotel staff. One QR sticker on the counter or stand, customers tap, money lands in your bank. No tip pool, no manager-approved app, no waiting for the company to cut you a check.
Free forever. 2.5% on tips. Tippers can cover the fee.
Print a sticker with your name + QR. Stick it on your apron, your name tag, the espresso machine. Customers scan and tip you, not the pool.
Most customers don't carry cash. They tap their phone on a QR, Apple Pay or Google Pay opens, they pick a tip amount in 5 seconds.
Tips flow through Stripe Connect to your bank. Standard payout schedule, no two-week wait for the company to settle tips.
Multiple staff sharing a counter? Each gets their own QR. Customers pick whose shift they're tipping. No more "everyone gets the same".
Stripe issues a 1099-K when you cross the threshold. Every tip is logged. Easier to report than cash, harder to lose to the back of the apron.
Owners can set up TipStage for the whole team. Each barista gets a QR, the company stays out of the tip flow. Simpler payroll, happier staff.
