What our partners say
Trusted by hospitality & service industry leaders
"It's been a year since we partnered up with eTip and something that we really like and appreciate is that every time we have a question or we need any kind of help we get assistance we need immediately"
"I think it's a really great system — there shouldn't be any hesitation. It's a minimal cost with a greater reward. The room attendants have the hardest job in the building, and to highlight them and give them the opportunity to see more income is fantastic."
"We had a lot of customers coming to the front desk asking if they could tip housekeeping with their card instead of cash. I'd recommend eTip to other hotels because it's good for the team and encourages them to work their best."
