Description

Still using the same tipping setup from 2019? 

Digital payments took over. Customers are over it. Staff want stability. But most bars are stuck in limbo, afraid to switch, too drained to rethink. 

Here’s the hard truth:
Less than 1% of bars run no-tipping models. Not because it doesn’t work, but because it’s hard to pull off without a plan. 

Meanwhile, tipping fatigue is rising, tip amounts are dropping, and your POS is nudging people into resentment.

If your staff is confused and your guests are annoyed, this is your wake-up call.

Tap in before the shift leaves you behind. 

 📌 What You’ll Learn 📌
 🌟 Why tipping fatigue is rising and how it’s silently hurting your bar
 🌟 The truth about no tipping models and why 99% fail
