One-to-one tipping, directly · Small / Mid-sized business
Tips flow straight from your customer to your worker through wallets they already have. Your staff gets 100% of every tip. You get visibility into the appreciation flowing through your business — without the money ever passing through your books.
Built for businesses like these
Pop Tips works for any business with a tipped team — from a single café to a small regional chain. Here's what it looks like in three common shapes.
Joe's coffee shop
Joe's regulars love his team. The cash tip jar at the register does some work, but most customers tap to pay and never circle back. Pop Tips puts a QR by the register: scan, tip the barista who actually made your drink, by name. Tips land in their account before they finish steaming the next pitcher.
A busy restaurant
Your servers get tipped on the check, but the busser, the runner, the host, the kitchen — they share a pool, or they don't. Pop Tips adds a direct-to-worker channel for everyone, including those who aren't on the bill. The guest who loved their service can scan the busser's card on the way out. Or add a little something on top for that incredible server, directly.
Regional salon chain
Each chair gets its own QR. Clients tip their stylist directly — no card terminal awkwardness, no "did I tip enough" guesswork. Each location is tracked separately and in aggregate, each stylist has their own dashboard. Same simple infrastructure across all three properties.
How it works
Pop Tips is designed to install in a single afternoon. No POS integration, no payroll changes, no new wallets for your team to learn.
Step 01
You sign up for your business account. Add your location. Tell us which workers are on the team. Each one gets their own Pop Tips page and a QR they can print.
Step 02
Each worker picks Venmo, Cash App, or PayPal — whichever they already use. Pop Tips routes tips peer-to-peer. You never touch the funds.
Step 03
Print the employee board for your space, or hand out individual QR cards. Customers tip the worker, by name, on the spot. Your dashboard shows every tip in real time. Coming soon — Pop Tip pins!
Works with what you already do
If you've got tipping working through your POS, your check, or a pooled distribution at end-of-shift, Pop Tips doesn't replace any of it. We're the additive layer for everything those flows can't reach.
Pricing for Small / Mid-sized business
Two tiers based on team size. One predictable monthly line item per location. Workers always free. Your customers pay their own platform fees, just as they do on the consumer side.
Tier 1 · Small team
For single-location businesses with a smaller tipped team — the café, the small salon, the neighborhood restaurant.
Tier 2 · Mid-sized team
For larger single-location businesses or small regional chains — the full-service restaurant, the multi-chair salon, the few-location franchise.
Advanced analytics — guest sentiment analysis, role benchmarking, custom reporting, API access — available as an add-on. Request a quote tailored to your business.
Workers always pay nothing. 100% of every tip lands with the person who earned it. Always.
