Stir Cambridge: A Community-Focused Café and Bakery
Stir Cambridge is a locally owned coffee shop and bakery, designed to provide a welcoming social space for the Cambridge community. Known for its speciality coffee, freshly baked goods, seasonal brunches, and takeaway lunches, Stir prides itself on creating a localised atmosphere that brings people together.
Committed to supporting both their customers and their team, Stir Cambridge partnered with Workforce and TiPJAR in 2024 to streamline operations, improve transparency, and implement employee-focused systems. By introducing these solutions, Stir aimed to reduce administrative burdens for managers while giving staff greater clarity and control over their earnings.
This focus on fairness and efficiency has not only improved day-to-day operations but also strengthened team morale, ensuring Stir continues to thrive as a valued part of the local community.
Systems that compliment the ethos
An integration made in heaven
The integration between Workforce and TiPJAR has transformed tronc management at Stir Cambridge, creating a seamless and highly efficient solution that benefits both the business and its employees. Managing a compliant tronc system requires precision and reliability, and the partnership between these two platforms has delivered just that.
Thanks to Workforce’s intuitive rota system, Stir Cambridge’s team can now sign off their hours in less than 10 minutes each Monday — a process that was previously time-consuming and admin-heavy. Once the hours are confirmed, TiPJAR automatically calculates and distributes tronc payments with complete accuracy. This streamlined process has removed manual errors, reduced administrative workload, and ensured that employees receive their tips promptly and fairly.
The impact has been significant. With greater transparency and faster access to their earnings, team members have become more motivated, leading to an uplift in the uptake of busier shifts. This has enhanced customer service, helping Stir Cambridge maintain its welcoming and community-focused atmosphere. Ultimately, these positive changes have contributed to increased sales and an even stronger sense of connection between the team and their customers.
TiPJAR's Impact on Stir Cambridge
The introduction of TiPJAR at Stir Cambridge has had a significant and positive impact on both operations and team morale. By simplifying tip distribution and ensuring complete transparency, TiPJAR has empowered staff with greater control over their earnings while reducing administrative strain for managers. This improved process has contributed to increased motivation among team members, better shift coverage, and enhanced customer service — all of which have played a key role in driving sales and strengthening the café’s community-focused culture.
For Stir Cambridge, TiPJAR has proven to be more than just a tronc solution — it’s become an essential tool in supporting their people and delivering an exceptional experience for every customer.
