Scalable Digital Tipping Platform for Hospitality Industry

In the hospitality sector, particularly hotels, the shift away from cash payments has led to a decline in cash tips for staff, creating operational challenges and diminishing staff morale. Existing tipping solutions lack scalability, automation, and seamless integration with hotel management systems, resulting in inefficient processes and potential service gaps.

A mid-sized hotel chain seeking to modernize its tipping process to enhance guest experience and streamline staff payouts.

• Develop a scalable, secure, and cloud-based digital tipping platform that replaces outdated or third-party systems.
