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.

Tippo also works for Tip Committees

If your restaurant uses a tip committee, Tippo provides the transparency and accountability needed to ensure fair tip distribution. Everyone can see the calculations and verify that tips are split according to your agreed policies.

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.

Other Deductions

In provinces where other deductions are permitted, you may be permitted to make a higher deduction to help cover the expenses associated with operating under a controlled tip splitting system.
