Read Why Our Customers ❤️ TipBrightly!
“TipBrightly has been a win for staff and a win for guests. Since we started early last fall, most housekeepers have averaged tips that add $.50 to $1.00 per hour to their income. We have not had to hire a single housekeeper for over a year.”
— David McCartney, General Manager of Hotel Arras in Asheville, NC. (2023).“TipBrightly has been a great platform for our housekeeping team. We saw a drastic reduction in cash tipping during the pandemic and that trend seems to be keeping hold. The TipBrightly team made it incredibly easy to begin collecting gratuities in a new way. We collected around $7,000 in additional gratuities for our team members last year!”
— Libby Busick, Holiday Inn By the Bay, Portland, Maine (2024)“A lot of our housekeepers have been with us since the beginning and since we’ve implemented TipBrightly, more tips have definitely gone into their pockets.”
— Tiffannie Sims, General Manager, Hotel Peter & Paul, New Orleans, LA (2024).“TipBrightly is a superb program, I recommend every hotel do it. For me as an operator and hotel manager, I look at guest satisfaction and staff satisfaction. The tool and the app gives us the ability to achieve both.”
— Fadi Takouz, General Manager, The Gwen, Chicago, IL (2022).“Once set up, TipBrightly worked immediately and smoothly. For guests and staff alike, TipBrightly is plug and play—the QR code works seamlessly and is easy for guests to understand and we could see the Stripe transactions immediately. ”
— Jess Wilson, General Manager Highland Center, Appalachian Mountain Club | New Hampshire (2019)“I work in a location that isn't set up for traditional credit card tipping and TipBrightly has been a game changer for us. In a world where less and less people carry cash, having an opportunity to process tips electronically and receive them in our paycheck has been fantastic.”
— Dawn Lambert, Dining Room Shift Leader, Appalachian Mountain Club | New Hampshire (2019)
