TipLink™ is a secure digital tipping solution designed for restaurants, pubs, hotels, cafés and hospitality venues.
Guests simply scan a QR code or tap a contactless bill presenter to access a secure payment page, where they can add a gratuity and complete payment without handing over their card.
By removing manual card handling from the tipping process, TipLink™ helps businesses improve customer experience while supporting PCI DSS and Visa VAMP compliance requirements.
TipLink has always been broader than a tipping tool. At its simplest, it lets a guest settle their bill from their own phone, at the table, the moment they are ready to leave.
That removes the wait for a terminal to be free and the wait for a member of staff to come over, which is where most of the friction at the end of a meal actually sits.
We set out the wider argument in the case for pay at table.
TipLink is designed to support current tipping and tronc requirements, with a full back office giving visibility and transparency over gratuities.
Tips are recorded as they are taken, so venues have a clear record of what was collected and when, rather than reconciling gratuities after the fact.
For a plain-English breakdown of what the law requires, see our guide to the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act.
Tips can be made visible to staff through the back office, including a leaderboard-style view that recognises good service and encourages healthy competition across the team.
Staff can also receive an alert the moment a guest has paid, so they can acknowledge and thank them on the way out. The exit often leaves a stronger impression than the arrival, and it is usually the part nobody owns.
POS integrations are in progress as TipLink Pay at Table is prepared for wider launch. The technical approach is deliberately lightweight, designed to keep the development effort required from a POS provider to a minimum.
If you run a POS platform we have not connected to yet, or you are a hospitality operator who wants TipLink working with the system you already use, tell us which platform it is and we will look at it.
See how TipLink™ helps hospitality businesses deliver secure digital tipping and payment experiences.
Traditional tipping processes often involve manual card handling, separate payment steps, and additional staff intervention.
TipLink™ allows guests to complete tipping and payment securely on their own device, creating a faster, safer and more convenient experience for both customers and hospitality teams.
Modern hospitality businesses are investing heavily in frictionless guest experiences. Payments should be no different.
TipLink™ helps venues reduce compliance risk, improve operational efficiency, and provide a modern digital payment experience that today's guests already expect.
Whether collecting gratuities in a restaurant, processing room service payments, or enabling contactless tipping in a beer garden, TipLink™ provides a secure and scalable solution for modern hospitality businesses.
