A digital tipping app lets someone tip a waiter, bartender or other worker from their phone instead of with cash. With EZTipr, the guest does not download anything: they scan the worker's QR code, the tip page opens in the browser, and they pay in the app they already have, like Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Apple Pay. The tip goes straight to the worker, and EZTipr takes no cut.
The Digital Tipping App Your Guests Never Have to Download
People search for an app to tip a server, but nobody wants to install a new app at the end of a meal. The best tipping app for guests is one they already have. EZTipr works in the browser and hands off to the payment app on their phone.
How it works
- 1
Worker creates a tip page
Sign up on the web, pick a username and get a QR code in minutes.
- 2
Worker adds a payment app
Connect your own Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, PayPal or Apple Pay.
- 3
Guest scans and tips
The guest points their camera at the QR code, picks an app and sends the tip. No download, no account.
What to look for when choosing one
Honest criteria, including the ones where another tool may suit you better.
Does the guest need to install it?
This is the big one. Apps to tip waiters that require a download lose guests at the table.
Does the worker need to install it?
EZTipr runs on the web. Workers manage everything from a browser.
Which payment apps it supports
Guests should be able to use what they already have. EZTipr supports Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle and Apple Pay.
Cut of each tip
Some tipping apps take a percentage or processing fee. EZTipr takes none.
Card terminal tipping
If you want tips added on a card reader, a POS or tipping device may fit better than a QR link.
Comparing tipping approaches
Here is how an app-free QR link page compares with other ways to tip digitally.
| QR link pages | POS-integrated tipping | Payroll tip distribution | Cash | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How the guest tips | Scans a QR code or opens a link, pays in an app they already have | Adds a tip on the card terminal or check | Tips on the card at checkout, paid out later | Hands over bills |
| Who holds the money | Nobody in between. It goes straight to the worker's own account | The business, until it is paid out | The business or payout provider, until payday or payout | The worker, instantly |
| Works without a card sale | Yes | No, it needs a transaction on the terminal | No, it rides on card sales | Yes |
| Tip pooling and payroll reporting | Not built in. Tips go to one person's account | Usually strong, tied to your POS data | Strongest. Built for pooling, splits and tax reporting | Manual |
| Setup | Minutes per worker, no hardware required | Needs the POS and its hardware | Needs payroll or payout onboarding | None |
| Guest needs | A phone with Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Apple Pay | A card | A card | Cash on hand |

How EZTipr approaches it
We built EZTipr so the tipping app is the one already on the guest's phone.
EZTipr is the tip page and the QR code. The payment itself happens in Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Apple Pay, straight into the worker's account.
That keeps it fast for guests and keeps 100 percent of the tip with the worker.
