According to Loop experts, the market for cashless tips is busy on 20 - 35%. These are mainly decisions of large players, for example, Sber and Yandex.

Both business owners and their employees can use the electronic tip service for free.

How does it work:

• The user registers his institution or himself with the system, if he is a waiter. Links a credit card, corporate card, or personal card to your account.
• The service generates a unique QR code for the user (institution or waiter).
• The guest reads the QR code with his phone, enters the tip amount and confirms the payment. At the same time, he can take the commission so that the waiter receives more.

By introducing electronic tips, the business owner will be able to increase the motivation of staff and evaluate the quality of his work according to the history of payments. The service will allow waiters to increase the amount of tips, because a guest without cash will be able to transfer the reward in electronic form.
