eTip is a cloud-based tip management and payout platform for restaurants and other hospitality operators. It connects with POS systems, calculates tip pools, and distributes approved tips to employees. Managers can review pools, payouts, reports, and transaction audit trails in a real-time dashboard, while employees access tip activity and payouts through mobile apps for iOS and Android. It is designed for front- and back-of-house teams that need structured tip administration across shifts and departments.

Pricing is custom and requires a sales conversation rather than a published tier structure. The platform supports web, iOS, and Android access. Its ecosystem includes hospitality POS systems such as Toast, Agilysys, Micros, Square, Aloha, and Oracle Cloud, along with workforce and payroll platforms including ADP, Workday, UKG, and Dayforce. Additional integrations include Amadeus, SynergyMMS, Unifocus, and Optii, giving operators several paths for connecting tip data with existing restaurant and workforce systems.

The standout capability is rule-based distribution. Managers can define pools by role, department, shift, hours, or percentage, synchronize POS data, and maintain shift-level transaction records. Approved tips can be paid instantly, while payroll-ready reporting and audit trails support downstream payroll work and review. eTip is a strong choice for multi-team hospitality operations that prioritize controlled allocation, employee payout access, and system connections. Organizations seeking transparent self-serve pricing, a free plan, or a simpler standalone tip tracker may prefer a product with a lighter purchasing and administration model.
