Enhancing Hospitality Earnings: A Collaborative Approach with Tipjar and Hungrrr
At TiPJAR – our vision was always to be collection agnostic. We always wanted business owners and operators to have multiple solutions with which their teams could collect tips – even mix and match solutions that work perfectly within their unique steps of service.
Well – our revolutionary integration with hospitality tech legends Hungrrr offers yet another awesome layer to our clients tech stack – one that enables their staff to collect even more tips than they had before.
This alliance combines TiPJAR’s expertise in fair and transparent tip management with Hungrrr’s cutting-edge ordering technology, offering businesses a comprehensive solution to elevate their operations and enhance their teams earnings.
Fostering Fairness and Transparency for Operators and Staff
Hungrrr enables you to take, manage and deliver orders seamlessly with your own branded mobile app and website food ordering system.
Their ordering technology is built for hospitality businesses and commonly used in takeaways, restaurants, hotels and stadia.
Whether it’s QR code table ordering, order for collection, or fast-paced delivery, Hungrrr provides businesses with the tools they need to provide a seamless brand experience for their customers..
At Hungrrr, they understand the importance of helping businesses maximise their revenue. That’s why they offer a 0% commission model to their merchants. Unlike other platforms that may impose hidden fees or unexpected costs, Hungrrr is committed to transparency and fairness. By eliminating commission fees, businesses can keep more of their profits, allowing them to reinvest in their operations and provide even better experiences for their customers.
Hungrrr’s commitment to fairness and transparency in operator revenue aligns seamlessly with TiPJAR’s mission to empower staff with fair and transparent tip distribution. While Hungrrr ensures that businesses retain more of their earnings through a 0% commission model, TiPJAR facilitates equitable tip distribution among staff members. Together, our partnership creates a holistic approach to supporting hospitality businesses, prioritising both operator revenue and staff welfare.

Hungrrr’s advanced ordering technology enables businesses to seamlessly manage orders through their branded mobile app and website. With the integration of TiPJAR, customers can now conveniently leave cashless tips directly within the Hungrrr platform.
This integration ensures that order revenue is directed to the business, while tips are swiftly delivered to staff members. Through TiPJAR Connect, integration into Hungrrr Apps becomes effortless, ensuring a seamless flow of transactions. This integration revolutionises tip management, providing businesses and their staff with transparent and efficient control over their earnings.
Leveraging TiPJAR in aid of recruitment
Recruitment and retention has been a critical focus for most hospitality businesses since Covid, but Honest Burgers has leveraged TiPJAR to make significant strides in both areas.
One key strategy employed by Honest Burgers has been to actively promote their utilisation of TiPJAR, emphasising the average hourly rate, inclusive of service charge. This additional compensation, ranging from £3.50 to £5.00 per hour atop base wages, serves as a compelling incentive for prospective team members.
By showcasing their commitment to fair and transparent tip distribution through TiPJAR, Honest distinguishes itself from competitors and enhances its appeal as an employer. Moreover, this approach helps them stand out amidst the multitude of businesses vying for staff, elevating the visibility of their job postings and increasing their ranking in search results.
THE IMPACT ON RETENTION
TiPJAR’s impact on employee retention cannot be overstated. Honest has witnessed a remarkable reduction in employee turnover since implementing TiPJAR. Previously, the turnover rate averaged around 106.05%, but since adopting TiPJAR, it has dropped significantly to an average of just 75.48%!
There are many factors that could contribute to this:
- Weekly payouts so their staff get access to frequent, on-demand income
- Fair distribution: Honest Burgers chose to adopt an equal points model, meaning everyone in the team gets their fair share for their hours worked in any given day
- Transparency means there’s no funny business going on – the team can look at any tip split and understand how they’ve received their share, providing total trust with their employer
- TiPJAR’s user-friendly platform and efficient payout system elevates the typical tronc experience – promoting the employee experience and empowering staff with the ability to take ownership over their earnings
an employee engagement tool, like no other!
TiPJAR revolutionises the employee experience by providing seamless and transparent tip distribution, empowering team members and fostering a culture of engagement and satisfaction. As Tommy from Honest notes above, the anticipation of the team receiving their TiPJAR earnings creates a palpable sense of excitement, with employees eagerly awaiting their payouts each week.
This punctuality and reliability not only makes a significant impact on their financial well-being but also instills a sense of belonging and investment in the company’s success.
TiPJAR becomes deeply ingrained in the daily lives of Honest Burgers’ team members, with its accessibility and real-time updates seamlessly integrating into their routines. From tracking earnings, to relying on its efficiency as part of their DNA, TiPJAR has become more than just a tool—it’s become a fundamental aspect of their way of living.
By simplifying the complex process of tip distribution and offering clear, transparent mechanisms for rewarding hard work, TiPJAR enables businesses to prioritise employee well-being and incentivise staff effectively. This sentiment is echoed in Tommy’s recommendations to other companies below, highlighting TiPJAR’s pivotal role in navigating evolving legislation and fostering a culture of fairness and recognition.
TiPJAR not only streamlines tip distribution but also strengthens the bond between employers and employees, driving engagement, loyalty, and mutual success.
The reasons why Honest Burgers chose to adopt TiPJAR:
Aligning their tip distribution methods with their company ethos of honesty and transparency was a consistent challenge for Honest. TiPJAR became an instrumental solution by seamlessly integrating with their values, ensuring clear separation of tips and providing a user-friendly experience, reinforcing Honest Burgers’ commitment to integrity in all aspects of their business.
Honest Burgers faced a challenge with traditional tip distribution methods, where often frequent delays impacted their team's financial well-being. In response, TiPJAR was introduced to provide a solution for swift and regular tip payouts, ensuring Honest Burgers' hardworking team receives their well-deserved earnings promptly.
TiPJAR emerged as the solution, offering a cash-equivalent approach that maintained a clear separation, eliminating confusion and ensuring a fair distribution process for Honest Burgers' team.
Honest chose to adopt TiPJAR in 2019, just before the onset of Covid-19 in the hope that they would be able to drive additional earnings for their teams during one of the most challenging periods for the industry in recent history
Tommy Giraux, Head Of Projects at Honest told us “This initiative was particularly successful during the pandemic, providing a way to supplement the income of our staff who were adversely affected.”
They then began considering the introduction of a service charge, but their goal was to streamline the process and keep it separate from our business operations to ensure clarity and compliance.
This is where TiPJAR comes in - we worked together to deliver our product now know as "Supertronc" - and the rest, well, it's history.
Compliance with tip management regulations posed an ongoing concern a lot of operators. Introducing TiPJAR addressed this challenge by providing a platform that ensures adherence to ever-changing legal standards. This not only mitigates risks but also provides Honest Burgers with peace of mind, aligning with their commitment to ethical and lawful business practices.
Honest faced challenges (as many hospitality operators do) in attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. TiPJAR emerged as a valuable tool to address this concern, allowing Honest to showcase average earnings transparently and position themselves attractively in recruitment efforts, as well as fostering loyalty among their existing team.
The burden of administrative tasks related to traditional tip distribution systems became overwhelming. To alleviate this challenge, TiPJAR was introduced, offering a streamlined approach that reduces administrative burdens, allowing Honests team to focus on more strategic aspects of their roles.
