Frequently Asked Questions

TipShare is a web application that allows hospitality businesses to distribute tips fairly among their employees. Distribution is done automatically based on hours worked, optionally with role-based weights and department-level distribution.

TipShare costs EUR 9 per month (excluding VAT). There are no setup fees and you can cancel monthly. Payment is via iDEAL or credit card.

TipShare offers three models:

• Model A (Per period): You enter the total tip amount for the entire period. Ideal for businesses that settle weekly or monthly.
• Model B (Per day): You enter the tip amount per day and select which employees worked that day. Perfect for businesses with varying schedules.
• Model C (Per day per time slot): Like Model B, but with separate time slots (e.g. lunch and dinner). For businesses where tips vary per shift.

Weights allow you to assign a larger or smaller share of tips to employees based on their role. For example: a head chef (weight 1.2) receives 20% more tips per hour than a dishwasher (weight 1.0). Weights are optional.

With department distribution, you can first distribute tips across departments (e.g. 60% front of house, 40% kitchen) before distributing within each department based on hours. This is optional.

The basic calculation is: tip per employee = (employee hours / total hours) × total tips. Optionally, weights and department percentages are applied. The exact calculation is always transparently visible in the results screen.
