The Peer-to-Peer feature in the TipHaus Employee App allows you to send a portion of your earned tips to your teammates electronically. These secure and straightforward transactions make sharing gratitude and supporting your coworkers easy.

Note: This feature is free but may not be enabled for all locations. If you don’t see the Peer-to-Peer option in your app, please speak with your manager about enabling it.

Here are a couple of examples of how you can use the Peer-to-Peer feature:

  • To show appreciation: Busser Alex went above and beyond for Server Martha this shift, and Martha wants to send Alex a few dollars as a token of appreciation for being a great teammate.

  • To return a favor: Bartender Susanna picks up a shift for her colleague Taylor. To say thanks, Taylor sends Susanna $20 with a note that says, "I'll pick up a shift for you next week - thank you!"


How to Access and Set Up Peer-to-Peer

Getting started with Peer-to-Peer is simple. Follow these steps to set up your account and begin sharing tips.

  1. Find the Feature: Open the Employee App and tap on the money transfer tab at the bottom of your screen.

  2. Set Up Your PIN: The first time you access this feature, you will need to set a secure PIN. This 4-digit code is required to authorize every transaction you make.

  3. Create Your PIN:

    • Click the "Setup my Pincode" button.

    • Enter a 4-digit PIN and confirm it with your app password.

    • Click the "Update my Pincode" button.


  4. Confirmation: A pop-up message will confirm that your PIN has been successfully updated. You are now ready to use Peer-to-Peer!


How to Send Tips to a Coworker

Once your PIN is set up, you can send tips to your colleagues.

  1. Start a Transaction: Navigate to the Peer-to-Peer tab and tap the blue plus sign (+) in the bottom right corner.

  2. Select a Recipient: Search for your coworker's name. You can only send tips to colleagues who have a green clock icon next to their name.

  3. Enter the Amount: Input the amount you wish to send and click the "Submit" button. Note: Depending on your organization's settings, you may only be able to send tips earned on the current day.

  4. Confirm and Send: You can add an optional note for the recipient. Enter your 4-digit PIN, then tap "Confirm and Send" to complete the transaction.

  5. Confirmation: A pop-up message will appear, confirming your transaction was sent successfully.

💲If you need a refund for a Peer-to-Peer transaction, please contact your General Manager for assistance.


Why I Have Tips, But Can’t Share Them Through Peer-To-Peer

You can only share a portion of your total tips. The specific amount available to share through Peer-to-Peer is determined by whether your organization has enabled the Earned Tip Access (ETA) feature.


If your organization does NOT use Earned Tip Access

You can share any tips you have earned throughout the current pay period. This amount will reset at the end of the pay period.


If your organization DOES use Earned Tip Access

You can share up to 50% of the tips you earn each day. Tips from previous days cannot be shared.
