For independent restaurants
Split the tips fairly, close the night faster.
Enter the night's tips and hours. Tipstead splits the pool by role and hours to the cent, and every employee can see exactly how their share was worked out.
No credit card to start. Works in any browser: phone, tablet or computer.
How it works
Set your shares once
Servers 60%, bar 25%, support 15%, or whatever your house rules are. Only the roles that worked a shift share that shift's pool.
Enter each shift
Card tips, cash tips and hours. Shares appear as you type, and cash someone already kept is subtracted automatically.
Settle and pay
Lock the pay period, export a CSV for payroll or print a PDF, then record each payment so nothing is paid twice.
Built for the questions you get at 1 a.m.
Staff see their own share
Send an invite link. Employees sign in and see only their own shifts, hours and tips, with nothing from anyone else.
Managers enter, owners stay in control
Invite managers to do the daily entry. Every change is recorded with who made it and when.
Mistakes don't rewrite history
Settled periods stay locked. Found an error later? Add or deduct it in the next pay period, with a reason.
Payroll-ready exports
CSV for your payroll provider or accountant, and a printable report for your records.
No passwords
Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN using passkeys.
Six languages
English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, French, Korean and Spanish. Each person picks their own.
"Why is my share $3 less than yesterday?"
With Tipstead, you open the shift and show them: hours, role and pool, side by side.
