Restaurant tip management software helps organize gratuities and manage how tips are allocated across staff and shifts. Compare custom pool rules and shift allocation with record granularity to understand how each option represents distribution. Payroll export and POS integrations are worth weighing if tip records need to connect with those systems; employee app availability may also matter to staff. Free-plan availability and the “Paid from” price add cost comparisons. The ranking opens with 7shifts, Grateful, and TabPref, then includes Homebase and DishOut among the early entries. Consider which allocation rules and records suit your operation as you review the options.
