Tips Calculated. Distributed. Provable.

Gratuity Management Software

Tips+Gratuities is Evention’s gratuity management software for calculating, reconciling, and posting tip distributions to payroll. As part of the financial trust layer, it connects POS, scheduling, and payroll data so complex tip pools are calculated consistently, validated before payroll, and documented when questions arise.

What's hiding in your spreadsheets?

One Bad Formula.
Thousands in Wrong Payouts.

Every cell gives an error another place to hide.

x Missed Punches. A shift log is off by 10 minutes, and tips get split across a headcount that was never on the floor for the whole shift.

x Inherited Mistakes. A formula error from three payroll cycles ago is still running. Nobody built it, nobody owns it, and nobody has checked it since.

x Variable Rules That Didn't Update. Tip credit percentages change. The spreadsheet doesn't. Payouts after run against rules that no longer apply.

x Mistakes During Manual Input. One transposed digit, and the wrong servers get paid for a shift they didn't work.

And when the error is caught, by an employee or a guest, is there documentation for a clean adjustment? Or does it turn into a write-off?

Most finance teams check one thing: that the total balances.
A tip payout isn't a line item. It's a wage record with your name on it.

How Tips+Gratuities Works

Calculate Once. Validate Before Payroll. Prove It Later.

Tips+Gratuities brings the data behind each payout into one controlled process. POS transactions, employee hours, scheduling data, distribution rules, approvals, and payroll outputs all in one place.

Instead of rebuilding tip pools in spreadsheets, teams apply consistent distribution logic and review the results before payroll posts.

Real-World Results

When Tip Distribution Leaves the Spreadsheet, the Work Changes.

Time Back

5–10 Hours Saved Weekly

At Hilton Washington DC, automation gave finance and outlet managers back 5–10 hours each week previously spent supporting complex payroll and tip processes.

Payroll Efficiency

96% Reduced Time

A hospitality operation reduced manual payroll reporting and tip-out time from 28 hours per week while improving employee visibility into tip distributions.

Payout Accuracy

Zero Payout Issues

After replacing spreadsheet-based gratuity calculations, one property reported accurate payouts with no payout issues since implementation.

Fewer Payroll Corrections

A Defensible Distribution Record

Greater Employee Visibility

The result?

Finance spends less time reconstructing what happened and more time knowing the distribution was correct before payroll ever posts.

Accuracy Does Not Stop in Finance

The Tip Error Starts in the Back Office.
The Impact Reaches the Floor.

An inaccurate payout does more than create another payroll correction.

Employees know when their tips are wrong. Repeated errors create questions about fairness and trust. Managers get pulled into disputes. HR gets involved. And when experienced employees leave, operators have to put newer teams in front of guests while they rebuild knowledge that walked out the door.

Accurate tip distribution protects more than the close. It protects the relationship between the property and the people delivering the guest experience.

Pay people accurately. Give them visibility. Keep payroll questions away from the floor.

Tips+Gratuities FAQs

What Is Gratuity Management Software?

Gratuity management software automates the calculation, allocation, reporting, and payroll posting of employee tips and gratuities. Tips+Gratuities combines POS, scheduling, and payroll data to calculate distributions consistently and create a traceable record behind each payout.

How Does Tips+Gratuities Automate Tip Calculation and Distribution?

Tips+Gratuities uses source data from POS, scheduling, and payroll systems to calculate and reconcile tip distributions according to configured rules. Finance can review results before payroll posts rather than rebuilding tip pools manually in spreadsheets.

Can Tips+Gratuities Manage Complex Tip Pools?

Yes. Tips+Gratuities supports configurable tip distribution logic for operations with different roles, outlets, employee hours, and payout rules. This helps hospitality operators manage complex tip pools consistently across teams and revenue centers.

Why Do I Need Gratuity Management Software if My POS Already Tracks Tips?

A POS typically records the tip transaction. Gratuity management software handles what happens next: combining tip data with employee and scheduling information, applying distribution rules, validating calculations, creating reports, and posting the final amounts to payroll.

How Does Tips+Gratuities Help With Tip Compliance?

Tips+Gratuities creates a traceable record behind tip distributions so finance can show how payouts were calculated and approved. Instead of reconstructing spreadsheets after a question or audit, teams have documented information available from the original distribution process.

Can Tips+Gratuities Reduce Payroll Corrections?

Yes. Tips+Gratuities allows teams to validate tip calculations before payroll posts, helping identify allocation issues before they become employee-facing corrections. Evention case studies also report improved tip accuracy and fewer exceptions after moving away from spreadsheet-based processes.

Does Tips+Gratuities Integrate With POS and Payroll Systems?

Tips+Gratuities is designed to use data from POS, scheduling, and payroll systems as part of the tip calculation and distribution process. The specific integrations available depend on the systems used by your organization.

Can Employees Get More Visibility Into Their Tip Earnings?

Yes. Tips+Gratuities supports detailed tip reporting that can give employees clearer visibility into their earnings and help managers answer payout questions with documented information rather than manual calculations.

How Much Time Can Automated Tip Distribution Save?

Results vary by operation and tip policy complexity. In an externally approved Evention case study, finance and outlet managers saved 5–10 hours per week, while banquet payroll efficiency improved by at least 50%.

Is Tips+Gratuities Only for Hotels?

No. Tips+Gratuities is designed for organizations that manage complex employee tip or gratuity distributions, including hospitality, restaurant, and entertainment operations. The distribution rules and operational workflows can vary based on the organization and use case.
