Tippy is a company that revolutionized how service industry tips are handled. Workers have instant access to their tips and they are notified about each tip via their Tippy app. Additionally, business owners save on credit card processing fees. A big win-win for companies that were spending time & money distributing nightly cash tips or paying thousands in card processing for worker tips.
