Restaurant tip management software helps organize gratuities, pooling rules, and distribution across shifts. Compared on custom pool rules, shift allocation, and record granularity, the entries show different dimensions to weigh when considering how tips are handled. Payroll export and POS integrations can matter for connecting tip processes with other systems; employee app availability, free plans, and paid-from pricing add further considerations. 7shifts, Rocket Tronc, and TabPref are among the options. Consider the distribution rules your restaurant needs and the detail staff and managers require, then compare those needs with the listed features and costs.
