Problem

EVO Entertainment was struggling with inconsistent tip calculations across its locations. Some locations were not distributing tips accurately, leading to discrepancies and frustrations among employees. Without proper security measures in place, managers had too much flexibility in determining tip distribution, which left room for manual errors and inconsistencies. As the company expanded, managing tips manually became unsustainable.

Solution

TipHaus automated tip calculations and distributions for EVO Entertainment, providing employees with clear visibility into their tips through our Employee app. This transparency boosted trust and communication within the team, while the structured system streamlined their tip management process. Each of the 22 managers now saves at least 2 hours per week on manual tip calculations, resulting in 44 hours saved weekly and 176 hours saved monthly. This streamlined process translates to $90,000 saved annually in managerial labor costs.


As EVO Entertainment continues to grow and expand into new markets, having reliable systems like TipHaus has become increasingly important. TipHaus has allowed EVO to streamline its operations and ensure that all employees are treated fairly when it comes to tip distribution.

Thanks to TipHaus, each of our 22 managers saves at least 2 hours every week on manual tip calculations, totaling 44 hours saved weekly and 176 hours monthly. This not only reduces manual labor but also minimizes potential errors in the process.
