DishOut vs Divvy

DishOut is a tip management platform for hospitality operations. It calculates and distributes tips using percentage-based, point-based, or custom rules configured for roles and service models. The service can pull sales, tip, role, and shift data from connected POS systems, then distribute tips digitally under the configured rules. Exportable reports cover tip distribution, payouts, and historical records for payroll and audits. Listed integrations include Clover, GoTab, Lightspeed, Oracle Micros, NCR Aloha, OLO/Omnivore, PosiTouch, Square, Toast, Homebase, and TimeForge. DishOut supports operations across one or multiple locations, with Android, iOS, and web availability. Its mobile app lets users view tip data, payouts, and reports. The FAQ says ACH payments take 1–3 business days after shift close, with timing depending on setup and payment method. DishOut says it supports tip tracking and payroll compliance records, but does not replace legal or accounting advice. A free trial is offered, though its duration and terms are not confirmed. The privacy notice identifies MMDO, LLC as responsible entity and says account information may be retained for up to 24 months after termination where applicable.

Divvy connects restaurant point-of-sale data to tip rules and shows managers and employees how each payout was calculated. It supports Toast, Square, Clover, Heartland, and Shift4 (SkyTab), with CSV import for other data. Tip pools can split evenly or use hours, points, per-role rules, or keep-your-own methods. Automatic tip-outs route shares to support roles using tips or sales, with caps to prevent negative balances. Employees can see tips, hours, pay-period totals, and real-time earnings in the portal and Tip Bank. Managers get date-ranged earnings reports, payroll export, IRS Form 8027 gross-receipts tracking, and a payout audit log. The Hiring Hub supports job postings, applicant tracking, careers pages, and onboarding. Core costs $39 a month per restaurant; Payouts costs $69 a month per restaurant and adds direct deposits through Stripe. A 14-day trial is available. Divvy runs in a browser on desktop and mobile devices; its native iOS app is still in development.
