Employees in the restaurant and bar industry have traditionally been paid their tips in cash at the end of each shift, and there were enough cash sales to generate funds for the “tip out” process. Debit and credit card use by customers has risen substantially, and now represents over 90% of all transactions. This means there is not enough cash on hand to pay staff tips. Therefore the manager has to go to the bank to get cash, which takes time and in some cases incurs a cost from the bank. Add to this the time it takes to count out cash for all tipped employees after every shift.Some establishments have begun to avoid these costs by simply adding the tips to paychecks, but employees prefer the industry standard of receiving tips shift-by-shift. Hourly wages for tipped employees are so low that many have their entire paycheck withheld for taxes and are used to living on their tip income.TipQuick addresses both management needs and employee concerns. After each shift, the store sends us a report of credit and debit card tips. We do a daily direct deposit of tips to each employee's bank account or to a debit card account for people that are unbanked or prefer that option. The manager doesn’t need to go to the bank or take time to count cash for each employee, and the employees have relatively quick access to their tips. In the unusual cases where they receive cash tips, the employees would pocket them directly.
