WHY TIPPING IS BROKEN
You're not alone if you're fed up with the current tipping culture. Tipping has evolved from a voluntary reward to a mandatory expectation, leading to economic inequality, pressure on consumers, and a lack of transparency in pricing.
Economic Inequality
Tipped workers face unpredictable income, often struggling to make ends meet due to inconsistent tips.
Pressure to Tip
Tipping has become a social obligation, with customers feeling pressured to tip regardless of service quality.
Discrimination
Tips often vary based on skin color, gender, age, and appearance, leading to unfair compensation and perpetuating inequality among service workers.
Lack of Transparency
Hidden service costs lead to confusion, leaving customers unaware of the true price until they’re asked to tip.
Annoyance with Technology
Pre-set tip screens at places like coffee shops add to tipping fatigue, making customers feel more obligated than appreciated.
Confusion About Tipping Norms
Many are unsure when and how much to tip, leading to inconsistent practices and added stress.

HOW IT WORKS
Hand Out Tipflip Cards
Instead of tipping immediately, hand out a Tipflip Card to the service provider. These cards include a QR code that directs service workers to the Tipflip app.
Receive Tip Requests
Businesses and service industry workers register on the Tipflip app to request tips. This shifts the tipping process from an on-the-spot obligation to a more deliberate, voluntary action.
Distribute Tips
When you receive a tip request, you have the freedom to choose how much to tip. Review the service, and make your tip a true gesture of appreciation, not an obligation.
Change the Tipping Culture
As Tipflip grows, our goal is to make tipping voluntary again. This will push businesses to offer fair wages to their employees, rather than relying on customers to cover those wages through tips. By changing the tipping culture, we’ll create a fairer, more transparent service industry where workers are paid what they deserve, and tips truly reflect exceptional service.
