Pricing
No monthly fee. No per-seat charge. Nothing to pay on a slow night.
We take a percentage of tip volume, and the card networks take theirs. If nobody tips, nobody pays — which keeps our interests pointed the same way as yours.

About these numbers. 1% of tip volume is the platform's default rate and card processing runs at roughly 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, set by the card networks rather than by us. Your actual schedule is confirmed in writing at onboarding — a rate on a marketing page is an indication, not a contract.

What it costs on a real Friday
A busy bar takes 240 tips averaging $6.00 — $1,440 of gratuity across one night. Here is where every cent goes, both ways round.
The difference between the two columns is entirely the fee question: whether the guest is offered the chance to cover processing. Most say yes, which is why the option exists and why the box starts unticked.

Straight answers
Money questions
Is there a contract or a minimum?
No minimum term and no monthly commitment. You're billed on volume, so a closed month costs nothing. If you stop, your reports and tax documents stay available — we're not going to hold your records hostage to keep you.
Who actually pays the platform fee?
It comes out of the gratuity, alongside card processing — never invoiced to your operating account. If the guest has covered fees, the fee is inside what they chose to pay and your team still nets the full amount.
What happens on a tip too small to be worth processing?
It's refused, not collected. A fixed 30¢ per transaction means a 25¢ tip nets your person nothing, and taking it anyway would be a worse outcome than declining. You can also set your own floor and ceiling per venue.
Do refunds cost us anything?
We don't add a fee to a refund. Card networks may retain their processing cost depending on the reason and timing — that part isn't ours to waive. A refund reverses the pool or individual balance as well as the charge, so nothing gets paid out twice.
Can I change how fees are handled later?
Any time, per venue, in settings — including whether the guest's checkbox starts ticked. We keep it unticked by default and would gently suggest you leave it that way; a pre-ticked upcharge earns a little more and costs more goodwill than it's worth.
Nothing to pay until somebody gets tipped.
Which is a fairly low-risk way to try it.
