Tips via PayPal: Cashless, Fair, and Directly to the Server

Cash is becoming rarer — and with it, tips often disappear too. Yet for many service staff, tips are an important part of their income and a genuine sign of appreciation. The solution: digital tips that work just as easily as QR ordering.

How Cashless Tipping Works

The guest who has already ordered via QR code sees the option to leave a tip at the end. When multiple servers are working, the guest simply selects the right name — so the money goes directly to the right person, to their own PayPal account, without going through the register.

Why This Matters for Your Team

  • Fair: The tip goes to exactly the server who took care of the guest.
  • Simple: No cash needed, no change, no discussion.
  • Motivating: Visible appreciation leads to happier staff.

What You Need

Your servers enter their name and personal PayPal.Me link once. That's it. From then on, every guest can say thank you via QR with no hassle — even when they don't have cash on them.

The tip function is part of DJ Beat & Bite and can be turned on and off per business. You can try it together with the QR ordering system free for 30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do tips go directly to the server?
Yes. Each server enters their own PayPal.Me link. The guest selects the name, and the tip goes directly to that person's private PayPal account — without going through the register.
What if multiple servers are working?
When multiple servers are active, the guest sees a short selection "Who served you?" and taps the right name. This way, the tip always reaches the right person.
Does the guest need an app for this?
No. It works via the PayPal.Me link in the browser. Those who have the PayPal app pay with it; everyone else can also pay without the app.
Can I turn off the tip function?
Yes, the function can be turned on and off per business. You decide whether your guests see the tip option.
