Divvy vs eTip

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.

eTip is a digital tipping and tip-management platform for hospitality and service businesses, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Guests scan a QR code to tip without downloading an app. Managers configure pools and splits by individual, room, shift, department, or custom criteria. Employees can receive payouts through debit cards, ACH, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or an eTip card. The platform provides automated IRS-compliant reporting, payroll-ready exports, transaction audit trails, and real-time dashboards. Listed payroll integrations include ADP, Workday, UKG, and Dayforce; POS integrations include Toast, Agilysys, Micros, Square, and Aloha. Customizable CSV files cover unlisted systems. Businesses can white-label the interface and guest experience. Employees can view tips, transactions, and reviews and initiate payouts. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan.
