Valet, chauffeur & delivery
Valet is the purest cash-tip role there is: a few seconds of contact, one hand already reaching for a wallet that no longer contains notes. A badge on the uniform restores that moment.
A tap is the only interaction fast enough for a valet handover. Anything that requires typing loses the guest.
Each badge is tied to a named driver, so the tip follows the person who actually brought the car.
No cash to reconcile at the end of a shift, and no supervisor holding a float.
A badge carries a URL, not money. If one is lost it can be deactivated and reissued the same day.
Name and photo on the page so the guest knows the tip is landing with the right person.
Keys in one hand, badge offered with the other. The guest's phone does the rest.
Tips per driver per shift, exported for payroll or paid out directly.
A valet interaction has no bill, no terminal and no second chance. Historically it ran entirely on the small notes a guest happened to have. As those disappeared, the role lost most of its tip income with them.
A tap-to-tip badge is the only mechanism fast enough to replace it — it fits inside the same few seconds the cash handover used to take.
The same pattern works anywhere the service ends with a brief, in-person handover. Chauffeurs can keep a card in the seat pocket, delivery riders can wear a badge, and both can carry a QR code on the invoice or the packaging for guests who prefer to tip afterwards.
Hotels & resorts
Housekeeping is the role most affected by the disappearance of cash — the guest never meets them, and there is no moment to hand over a note. An in-room card fixes that without adding anything to the folio.
Hardware
An NFC tip card is a printed card with a tiny chip inside. Hold a phone near it and the tip page opens — no scanning, no typing, no app. It is the fastest path from intention to payment we have found.
