Turn the screen. They do the rest.
A tablet stands at the host stand, the front desk or the end of the bar. The guest picks the person who looked after them, chooses an amount, and taps a card. The whole thing takes about as long as handing back a receipt.
It runs in a browser. That means the tablet you already have behind the counter is the kiosk — there is no device to buy from us, rent from us, or send back when you stop.

Sample venue · sandbox
The kiosk on a tablet. Sample venue, sandbox data — no card is charged.
Put it where the guest already stops moving.
A kiosk earns its place when there is a counter the guest stands at anyway — a moment where they are still there, still facing you, and not yet walking out of the door.
A front desk or a host stand
Check-out, settle-up, pick-up. The guest is already at the counter with a card in their hand — the kiosk just asks one more question before they put it away.
A team the guest can name
When the guest knows who served them, the tip should reach that person by name rather than falling into a pool and being divided later by someone who was not there.
A counter that already has a tablet
If there is a screen back there running something in a browser, it can run this. Nothing to mount, nothing to provision, nothing on a two-year term.
Three steps to a working counter.
Add the business and the names
Type the team into the console. Each name becomes a tile on the kiosk and a page of their own, immediately. Adding someone costs nothing.
Open the kiosk link on the tablet
One URL, opened in the tablet’s browser and left full-screen. It stays on the counter screen until a guest touches it, and returns there on its own afterwards.
Turn it to face the guest
That is the entire operating procedure. Nobody has to be trained on it, because the guest drives it and the screen only ever asks one question at a time.
Here is the whole flow, before you ask anyone for it.
Most companies in this category will show you the guest screen after a discovery call. These are the screens in the order the guest meets them. Read them now, and decide whether you want the call at all.
Counter screen
What the tablet rests on between guests. A staff member can also reach a device menu from here to join a location, manage the card reader, or open support.
Pick the person
A grid of the team who are on. One tap. There is also a tile for the whole team, when the guest would rather it be split.
Enter the service amount
A keypad, so the suggested tips can be a real percentage of what the guest actually spent instead of three guesses.
Choose the tip
Three suggested percentages, each showing the dollar amount beside it, plus “other” and a plain “no tip” that is not hidden or shamed.
Add a name, if they want
Optional. Some guests want the team member to know who left it; most skip it, and skipping is one tap.
Tap, insert or swipe
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay or the card itself. The fee and the net are printed above this step, not after it.
Authorising
One screen, one job. The guest is told what is happening rather than watching a spinner and wondering whether to tap again.
Receipt, or not
Email, text, or no receipt at all. No phone number is required to finish, and none is kept if the guest declines.
Thank you, then reset
A short confirmation, then the tablet returns to the counter screen by itself — ready for the next guest with nothing of the last one left on the glass.
What the kiosk leaves behind is a record.
Cash tips at a counter leave nothing: no name, no date, no total, nothing to hand a bookkeeper in January. Every tip taken on the kiosk is attributed to the person who earned it at the moment it is paid.
- Per-person totals instead of an envelope and an argument.
- An audit log of every tip, fee and net, in the order it happened.
- A payroll CSV you can export rather than retype.
- Split rules for the shifts where the tip genuinely belongs to more than one person.
- A tax summary, and a plain-language explainer of how tip income is reported.
Honest about the money moving
We will not print a settlement promise we cannot keep. Tips are recorded in full from the first one. Payouts open when the business links its bank and card processing is switched on — and until then the product says exactly that, on the team member’s own screen, rather than showing a date that slips.
If a vendor tells you “instant” before they have seen your bank, ask them what happens on day one.
When the guest is already walking away.
A valet attendant, a groomer handing back a dog, a trainer at the end of a class — there is no counter in that moment. Those are the ones a printed code or a link is for, and the two work side by side on the same account.
QR code & tip link
A code on a name tag, a table tent or a receipt. Same page, same ledger, same fee — and the same URL works on an NFC tag a guest can tap.
The print kit
Table tents, name-tag cards and stickers, generated for your team and ready to print on ordinary paper. Nothing to order and wait for.
The guest sees the fee on the same screen as the button.
Four per cent of the tip, with a fifty-cent minimum. That is the whole price of the kiosk: no device fee, no monthly, no setup, no contract, and no charge for adding another person to the grid.
If the business would rather the team member kept the full tip, one toggle asks the guest to cover the fee instead.
Below a $12.50 tip the $0.50 minimum applies; above it, the 4% does. The pricing page has a calculator for any amount.
The things people ask before they stand one up.
Do we have to buy a tablet from you?
No. The kiosk is a web page, so it runs on a tablet you already own, in the browser that is already on it. We do not sell, rent or lease hardware, which also means there is nothing to return if you stop using it.
What does it cost to put another person on the screen?
Nothing. Type their name in the console and their tile appears on the kiosk and their own tip page exists a second later. There is no per-person charge and no seat count.
Can the guest leave nothing?
Yes, and the option is on the screen in the same size as the others. A tipping screen that hides the way out is a screen people learn to resent, and it costs you the tips it was meant to collect.
Does the guest need an app or an account?
No. They tap a card or a phone wallet at the reader. Nothing is installed, no account is created, and no phone number is required to finish — the receipt step is optional.
When does the money reach the team?
Tips are recorded to the person immediately. Payouts open once the business has linked its bank and card processing is switched on. We do not publish a settlement date before that, because we would only be publishing a date we might miss.
Can the kiosk and printed QR codes run at the same time?
Yes. They are two front doors onto the same account, the same team list, the same ledger and the same fee. Many places want the kiosk at the counter and codes on name tags for the staff who are never near it.
Stand one up this afternoon.
Add the business, type the team, open the link on the tablet. If you would rather have someone on the call first, that door is open too — but you do not have to walk through it to see the product.
