How do guests leave a digital tip?
Guests scan a tipping QR code or open Digital Tipping in Guest Hub, choose an available recipient, select a suggested or custom amount, and complete payment. Apple Pay and Google Pay are available on supported devices and browsers.
Can guests tip a person, a department, or the whole hotel?
Yes. The hotel can create QR codes for a staff member, department, property, or recipient list. Guests see the recipients available for that link and the hotel’s tipping setup.
Do department and property tips go straight to staff wallets?
No. Completed direct-to-staff tips enter that person’s Staff Wallet. Department and property tips remain pooled until a hotel administrator disburses them to staff wallets. Disbursement is separate from the staff member’s cashout.
How quickly can staff receive their tips?
Debit-card cashout arrives within 30 minutes. Staff need an available Staff Wallet balance and an eligible linked debit card. For department or property tips, the hotel must first disburse the pool to staff wallets; the 30-minute cashout window does not start when the guest leaves a pooled tip.
Can staff choose a bank account instead of a debit card?
Yes. Staff Wallet supports debit-card and bank-account cashout. Staff choose an amount within their available balance and review the cashout quote, including any fee and the amount they will receive, before confirming. The 30-minute arrival assurance applies to debit-card cashout, not bank transfers.
What must the hotel set up before accepting tips?
The hotel needs Guest Hub access, completed payment setup, digital tips turned on, and tip-eligible recipients. Staff can then create, print, and post tipping QR codes. Staff receiving cashouts also need a payout method in their wallet.
What can managers review?
Digital Tipping includes QR Codes, Tip History, Disbursement, and Staff Wallets views. Managers can review recorded tips and their status, distribute pooled tips, and review staff balances and cashouts. A pool allocation to a wallet is not proof that the staff member has cashed out.
Is Digital Tipping included in a plan?
Digital Tipping requires Guest Hub, which is included in Essentials, Professional, and Hotelier. For hotels buying modules without a plan, it is available through the Guest Hub Bundle at $99 per month or $990 per year.
