Free to download. Your first 3 shifts are on us. Unlock unlimited shifts, history, sharing, export, and crew templates with one purchase. No subscription, no ads, no account required.
HOW IT WORKS
Add your crew, enter the total tip pool, and get an instant payout breakdown showing what each person takes home. It takes under a minute, whether you have 3 people on the floor or 15.
FOUR WAYS TO SPLIT
Hours: Divide the pool by hours worked. A bartender who worked 8 hours gets twice the share of someone who worked 4. Perfect for shifts where staff arrive and leave at different times.
Points: Assign point values by role. Give servers 10 points, bussers 5, and barbacks 3. The pool divides by the weight of each position. Great for restaurants that use a point system.
Percent: Give each person or role a set percentage of the pool. Tip Out checks that everything adds up to 100.
Equal: Split the pool evenly among everyone. Ideal for small teams or nights when everyone worked the same shift.
Switch between methods anytime to see which approach works best for your team.
TIP OUT THE BACK OF HOUSE
Enter a kitchen, barback, or host tip-out and it comes off the top before the split. Every person's share of the tip-out is shown, so the math is never a mystery.
TRACK YOUR OWN TAKE-HOME
Tap "This is me" on a shift and Tip Out follows your pay over time: your tips, your tip-outs, your hours, and your dollars per hour. Your name is remembered, so future shifts track automatically.
INSIGHTS
See your take-home by week, month, or all time. Find your best shifts, watch pool totals over time, and see a breakdown by role and by cash versus credit. Tap any bar for the details.
CREW TEMPLATES
Save your regular crew once and load them on every shift. No more re-adding the same servers, bartenders, and barbacks every night. Templates remember names, roles, hours, points, and exempt status.
CREDIT CARD FEE DEDUCTION
When tips come through credit cards, processing fees eat into the pool. Toggle on CC fee deduction, enter your rate, and the fee is subtracted before anyone's share is calculated. Everyone sees the math.
EXEMPT STAFF SUPPORT
Managers and other exempt employees can be flagged so they are excluded from the pool. Tip Out keeps them visible in the breakdown for transparency without separate spreadsheets.
SHARE THE BREAKDOWN
Tap Share to send a clean summary to your group chat, email, or anywhere else. It includes every name, role, payout, and the split method. No more writing tip amounts on napkins.
EXPORT AND BACKUP
Export any shift as a PDF tip sheet or a CSV for payroll. Back up every shift to a file and restore it on a new phone anytime.
TYPE A SHIFT IN PLAIN WORDS
On newer iPhones, describe the shift in a sentence and your crew fills itself in. It runs on your phone, so nothing is sent anywhere.
SHIFT HISTORY
Every completed shift is saved. The latest 3 stay free, and unlocking keeps them all. Scroll back to review payouts, verify payroll, settle disputes, or check your tip earnings over time. Search by name, filter by month, and share any shift again.
BUILT FOR RESTAURANT AND BAR WORKERS
Tip Out was designed for the real end-of-night workflow: cash tips, credit tips, barback tip-outs, server and host roles, exempt staff, stray pennies, and payout totals that need to add up.
