Stop guessing what you made last night. Checkout tracks your tips, calculates your real hourly rate, and shows which shifts actually pay. Know exactly what you made, every single shift. Checkout is the tip tracker built for servers, bartenders, waiters, waitresses, hosts, and food runners. Log a shift in seconds. See your real hourly rate. No account required, and your data never leaves your phone. SIMPLE TIP TRACKING Enter your hours, sales, and tips and Checkout calculates your tip share, net tips, and real hourly rate automatically. Handles midnight crossovers, custom tip out percentages, and tip in for bartenders. No math. No guessing. Just your numbers. OVERTIME THAT KNOWS TIPPED WORK Tell Checkout how each job pays overtime, whether that is weekly, daily, or double time, with your own thresholds and payroll week start. If you are a tipped employee, your overtime is figured on full minimum wage instead of your cash wage, the way it is supposed to be. Every shift, total, and chart counts it from then on. YOUR SHIFTS AS RECEIPTS Every shift you log opens as a printed receipt, itemized line by line, with your total and hourly rate at the bottom. The only tip tracker that shows your money the way your restaurant does. WHY IS MY CHECK SO SMALL? (CHECKOUT PRO) Enter your paycheck and Checkout explains it in plain English: how much was wages, how much was tips you already took home, what got taxed, and what actually hit your account. See it as a plain language breakdown or a line by line receipt, your choice with a tap. If the numbers do not line up against the shifts you logged, you will know, and you will have the record to prove it. BUILD YOUR OWN TRACKER Choose exactly which fields appear on your shift form: tip out, tip in, total sales, covers, or anything custom. Create your own fields that add to, subtract from, or simply track alongside your earnings. Your tracker, set up for your restaurant. EARNINGS BREAKDOWN See exactly where your money comes from: cash tips, credit tips, tip share paid out, net tips, base wage, and total take-home pay, all calculated in real time as you type. YOUR SCHEDULE, ALREADY IN THE APP (CHECKOUT PRO) Log shifts before you work them. If you work the same days most weeks, save that schedule as a template and drop it onto any week in a couple of taps. Your calendar fills itself in and all you do after the shift is add the numbers. FULL HISTORY, ALWAYS FREE Every shift you have ever logged, available forever.

Log your whole shift before you reach your car, by voice. "Murphy's, six hours, one-eighty card, ninety-five cash, tipped out forty." That's it. Tiplo's AI turns what you said into a logged shift: venue, hours, cash, card, tip-out, confirmed with one tap. Got a printed checkout slip instead? Scan it. The numbers read themselves in. Tiplo is the tip tracker that does the typing for you, then turns every documented tip into paperwork that pays. START FREE, SEE IT WORK • Your first log is on us: say it, scan it, or type it, no payment info needed • Explore every screen before you decide: your stats, your money, your documents • Then pick a plan to keep logging; the annual plan starts with a free trial No accounts. No sign-up. Your data lives on your phone, and it's never held hostage. KNOW YOUR REAL NUMBER Your Money screen shows what you actually make: dollars per hour overall, by venue, by day of the week, cash vs card. Find out whether Friday closes really beat Sunday brunch. With numbers, not vibes. TIPLO PRO: TIPLO DOES THE WORK • Unlimited logging: say it, scan it, or type it after every shift, forever. • Income Proof Pack: a bank-ready earnings statement (monthly totals, hours, averages) for apartment applications, auto loans, leases. Tips are real income; now you can prove it. • Tax Pack: your year-to-date documented tips, an estimate of what the federal tips deduction could be worth, and one-tap export of an IRS-style daily tip record (PDF + CSV) for your tax pro. • Full-history analytics, year-end pace projection, and a weekly coaching report. WHY DOCUMENTING EVERY TIP MATTERS NOW Under the federal tips deduction (2025-2028), up to $25,000 of qualified tips per year can come off your taxable income, but only tips you can document. Every logged shift in Tiplo is a contemporaneous record: the amounts, the venue, the hours, even your original voice note or slip photo. Every cash tip you don't write down is a deduction you lose. (Estimates only, not tax advice. Income limits and occupation rules apply. Consult a tax professional.) BUILT FOR TIPPED WORK Servers, bartenders, baristas, stylists, nail techs, delivery and rideshare drivers, valets, movers: if your income arrives as tips, Tiplo was built for your shift.
