You just closed out. How much did you really make? TipScan is the tip tracker that reads your checkout slip. Point your camera at the Toast, Aloha, or Micros printout — cash tips, card tips, and tip-out are logged in 3 seconds, with your real hourly computed for you. SNAP, CONFIRM, DONE • Scan the slip — every number lands next to the photo so you can confirm with one tap • Anything the scan isn't sure about gets flagged — you never save a wrong shift • No slip? Two fields, 30 seconds, done KNOW WHAT YOU REALLY MAKE • Real hourly: base pay + tips − tip-out, ÷ hours actually worked • Calendar with your take-home on every date • Weekly, monthly, and pay-period totals · which nights actually pay • Month-end pace: "on track for $2,400" YOUR RECORD NEVER DIES • Backed up from your very first entry — no signup required • Add your email and a lost phone can never take your history • One-tap CSV export, free forever BUILT FOR TAX SEASON • Cash tips and tip-outs never appear on your W-2 — your own record is the proof • Slip photos archived as documentation • Reference figures for the federal tip deduction (not tax advice) THE PLEDGE No ads. No interruptions on the save button. No selling your data. Free logging, forever. For servers, bartenders, barbers, nail techs, delivery drivers — anyone who lives on tips.
