For tipped teams

Fair tips,
to the penny.

PaidFair splits the jar only across who was actually on — by the minute worked — then runs your schedule, your register, and your whole floor. Everyone sees exactly how their share was figured.

The tour

See exactly how it works.

No POS to rip out, no cards to process, no payroll to replace. Just the tools a tipped shift actually needs.

Split tips fairly, by the minute

Count the jar and PaidFair divides it only across who was on — segment by segment. Someone who clocked out at 2 never touches the tips counted at 6.

  • Every payout shows its own plain-language math
  • Tip-outs to support & reduced trainee rates built in
  • Cash & card, settled at the drawer or on payroll

  • Export any shift straight to Apple Calendar

Know your numbers

Insights on tips, sales, and hours — plus labor and tips as a share of sales, the ratios owners actually manage to. See your top earners, most hours, and who's near overtime this week.

  • Tips-per-hour, labor %, and daily trends
  • Payroll-ready CSV & PDF (QuickBooks-friendly) exports

Every teammate has their own view

Staff clock in from their phone or a shared iPad, watch their hours tick up, and see their own tips — and only their own. They pick up open shifts, message the team, and check their history without seeing anyone else's pay.

  • Private per-person passcodes — nobody sees another's numbers
  • Edit their own profile, availability & emergency contact
  • Or check tips with a QR code — no app, no login

On the counter

Great on a shared iPad.

Leave PaidFair open at the counter as the team's home base — clock in and out, count the jar, ring sales, and message the crew. Managers unlock the full picture with a passcode; everyone else just taps their name.

How it works

Three taps from jar to fair.

1

Clock in your team

Tap a name when someone starts and when they leave. That's the only input PaidFair needs.

2

Count the jar

Enter the cash (and card tips, if you track them) whenever someone cashes out or the day ends.

3

Everyone gets their fair cut

PaidFair splits it by the minutes each person worked — and shows the math so nobody wonders.

Pricing

Free register. Fair price for the rest.

No per-employee fees, no contracts. One flat price per location.

A web dashboard for the back office.

Yours & private

Your numbers never leave your device.

No account to create, no data sent to us, no tracking, no ads. Export a full backup any time. PaidFair is your honest record of tips and hours — not payroll, tax, or accounting software, and it never moves money or processes cards.

Questions

Good to know.

How are tips actually split?

By the minutes each person worked, segment by segment. Tips counted at 6pm are only shared among people on the clock during that window — someone who left at 2pm gets nothing from it. Every payout shows its own arithmetic, and the parts always add back to the counted total exactly.

Does PaidFair process cards or move money?

No. It never touches cards and moves no money. The register is a cash-drawer calculator, and settlements just record cash one person physically handed to another.

Is this payroll or tax software?

No — it's your record of tips and hours. Export the data as CSV or PDF into whatever payroll or accounting system you already use.

What kinds of businesses is it for?

Any small business where a team shares tips: cafés, restaurants, bars, food trucks, salons, and more. If you split a jar, PaidFair fits.

Can my staff see each other's pay?

No. Each teammate's view shows only their own hours and tips, behind an optional personal passcode. Managers see the full picture; nobody else does.

Can I run it from a computer?

Today PaidFair runs on iPhone and iPad. A web dashboard for reports and multi-location back-office is on the roadmap alongside cloud sync.

How much does it cost?

The cash register is free forever. Everything else is $29/month per location with a 14-day free trial — no per-employee fees, cancel anytime.

Get every shift paid fair.

Free to start on your iPhone or iPad. Splitting tips fairly in minutes.
