    EZTipr vs Toast Tips

    Toast Tips is a tipping module built into the Toast POS, designed for full-service restaurants already running on Toast hardware.

    Quick answer

    Toast Tips is a tipping module built into the Toast POS, designed for full-service restaurants already running on Toast hardware. EZTipr works differently: each worker gets their own QR tip page, and guests pay that person directly inside Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Apple Pay, so EZTipr never holds the money and takes 0% of the tip. Toast Tips pricing: Bundled with Toast POS subscriptions (typically $69, $165/month per location plus hardware and payment processing fees of ~2.49% + 15¢). EZTipr pricing: Free forever for individuals. Teams from $99/month flat. No per-transaction fees, payments go peer-to-peer.

    Best for

    Full-service restaurants already locked into the Toast POS ecosystem who want tipping handled inside their existing checkout flow.

    Not a great fit

    Quick-service teams, mobile workers, salons, hotels, and any business not running on Toast hardware. Also overkill for solo earners.

    Verdict

    If you're already on Toast and only need tipping inside dine-in checkout, Toast Tips is convenient. For everyone else — and for any team that wants employees tipped directly without POS lock-in — EZTipr is dramatically cheaper, faster to deploy, and works on any device.

    What you actually get

    A real org dashboard. Not a spreadsheet.

    Most Toast Tips alternatives stop at a payout report. EZTipr ships a full organization dashboard — multi-location analytics, per-employee performance, branded org pages, and bulk hardware ordering.

    When EZTipr wins

    • You don't use Toast (or any POS) at all
    • You want employees to keep 100% of tips peer-to-peer
    • You need physical QR pins, magnets, or table posters
    • You serve mobile, off-site, or non-restaurant industries
    • You want to launch in 60 seconds, not a 2-week implementation

    When Toast Tips wins

    • You already pay for Toast POS and want one vendor
    • You run a traditional full-service dine-in restaurant
    • You need tipping inside the guest check, not after

    Frequently asked

    No — EZTipr is a tipping layer, not a POS. You can keep using Toast for orders and EZTipr for tips, or use EZTipr standalone if you don't need a POS.
