TipHaus is purpose-built tip management software that integrates directly with your existing Homebase workflow. Your scheduling stays in Homebase. Your tip calculations, pooling, distribution, payroll export, and employee transparency happen in TipHaus—automatically.
Why Operators Add TipHaus to Their Homebase Stack
Homebase is a solid workforce management tool, especially for small and growing restaurant teams. It handles scheduling, time clocking, and basic team communication well. But tip management is a different discipline, and it deserves a platform built specifically for it.
The operators who get the most out of both platforms use Homebase for what it’s designed to do, and TipHaus for what it’s designed to do. The result is a stack with no manual work, no payroll errors, and no tip disputes.
TipHaus integrates with Homebase as a time & attendance source, so your shift data flows directly into tip calculations. No double entry. No spreadsheets in the middle.
If you're handling tip management outside of a dedicated platform (whether in Homebase, a spreadsheet, or manually), you probably recognize these pain points:
These aren't edge cases. For most operators running tips manually or semi-manually, these are weekly problems. TipHaus eliminates them.
What TipHaus Does That Homebase Doesn’t
Homebase is built for scheduling. TipHaus is built for tips. Here’s where the gap shows up:
| Feature | TipHaus | Homebase |
|---|---|---|
| Automated tip calculations | Fully automated | Basic |
| Customizable tip pooling rules | Fully customizable | Limited |
| Earned Tip Access® | ✓ | ✗ |
| Daily digital tip payouts | ✓ | ✗ |
| QR code tipping (guest-facing) | ✓ | ✗ |
| Employee tip transparency app | ✓ | Limited |
| Audit-ready tip records | ✓ | ✗ |
| Custom payroll exports | ✓ | Limited |
| Multi-POS tip integrations | ✓ | ✗ |
| Multi-location tip reporting | Full enterprise reporting | Limited |
| Tip reconciliation | ✓ | ✗ |
| Compliance-ready tip data | ✓ | ✗ |
Note: TipHaus and Homebase are complementary tools. Many operators run both. TipHaus fills the tip management gap that scheduling software isn’t built to solve.
Everything operators need. Nothing they don’t!
01
Automated Tip Calculations, No More Nightly Spreadsheets
Set your tip pool rules once. TipHaus calculates tip allocations for every shift, automatically, based on your exact rules. Whether you’re running tip pooling, tip sharing, or a combination across multiple revenue centers—TipHaus handles it. The calculation runs in the background so your managers can focus on closing the shift, not running numbers.
02
QR Code Tipping (Cheers by TipHaus) Captures Tips Your Staff Is Currently Missing
Enable guests to tip via QR code either tableside, at the bar, at checkout, or on printed receipts. Cheers by TipHaus is built into the platform and flows directly into your tip calculations. No separate tool, no reconciliation headache.
03
Earned Tip Access® Lets Staff Access Tips the Day They Earn Them
Give employees visibility into and access to their earned tips before payday. Earned Tip Access® reduces reliance on cash advances, cuts turnover, and builds trust with your team. It’s one of the most impactful retention tools available to hospitality operators today—and it’s built directly into TipHaus.
04
Audit-Ready Tip Data Protects Yourself from Disputes
Every tip calculation is logged, timestamped, and defensible. If a dispute arises—from a staff member or a regulator—you have a clear, documented record for every shift. No more trying to reconstruct tip history from spreadsheets after the fact.
05
Daily Digital Tip Payouts Say Goodbye to Cash Handling
Stop making bank runs. Stop stuffing envelopes. TipHaus automates daily digital tip payouts directly to your employees. Cash handling burden is eliminated, managers get time back, and employees get paid faster. It’s a better experience for everyone.
06
2-Click Payroll Export Connects Once and Run Payroll in Minutes Anytime
TipHaus connects to your POS and time & attendance system (including Homebase). Payroll exports are formatted for your payroll provider. No manual entry, no reformatting, no errors. What used to take two hours per payroll cycle now takes two clicks.
