For Employers
Take control of your tip management with Tippo regardless if you do Controlled Tips or use a Tip Committee.
Benefits of Controlled Tips
No Year-End Tax Surprises
Your staff won't have to worry about paying large federal or provincial taxes at the end of the year. Everything is processed through payroll, making tax time simple and stress-free for everyone.
All Deductions Go Back to Staff
What's held back supports employees' retirement and employment insurance coverage, helping protect their financial future.
Transparency & Accountability
The app provides clear transparency and accountability. Everyone can see what they made after a shift, reducing conflicts and building trust across the team.
Better Team Culture
Controlled tips with clear processes help create a fair workplace where everyone feels valued, leading to stronger morale and better staff retention.

Benefits for Tip Committees
- Clear documentation of all tips
- Immediate access to shift earnings
- Reduced conflicts among staff
- Increased trust across the team
Permitted Deductions
Credit Card Processing Fees
In certain provinces, restaurants may deduct a 2% credit card processing fee from tips. Always check provincial regulations to ensure compliance with local laws.
