What it does

The numbers your job never gives you.

Your real hourly, after tip-out

Tip-out rules match your house, a percentage of tips or of sales per role, applied to every shift. Per-shift hourly figures stay free; the detailed earnings summary shown here is part of Pro.

Watch the week build

Weekly goal progress stays free. Pro adds daily bars and weekday averages from logged days in the prior eight weeks. Averages describe past records, not a future work schedule.

Weekly goal card: $342 of a $900 goal, 38%, $558 remaining, projected $817 to $1,215 by end of week, a bar chart of the week with Tuesday and today filled and the rest projected, and the line $175 ahead of your usual pace, through Thursday

Is this month going well?

With Pro, compare your running monthly total with your past complete months. Free includes this week's net-tips graph.

Performance card: $15,764 all time over 62 shifts and 438 hours, the line $148 behind your typical month at this point with 27 days left, a pace curve for this month so far against a typical month, and pods for $36 per hour, $254 average shift, Saturday best day at $333 a shift, and 6% tip-out

Every shift, on one chart

Pro adds an earnings calendar heat map and earnings-pattern chart. Your complete shift list, search, filters and edits stay free.

History chart: sixty-two shifts as dots sized by hours, coloured above or below the $254 average, a five-shift trend line, a shaded usual range of $180 to $315, and tiles for best shift $481 and usual shift

A number you can budget on

Pro shows the weekly figure you reached in three out of four logged weeks. Use your history to explore a plan; future earnings can differ.

What you can count on: $765 a week, you beat this 3 weeks out of 4, budget on it and bank the rest, with a prompt asking whether your bills get paid

Insights that state their basis

Pro Coach observations explain what was compared and how many logged shifts support each pattern.

From your coach: tip rate has dipped, guests are tipping 17.1% of sales lately versus 18.5% before; busy nights pay $11 an hour more, based on 8 busy shifts; early pattern, server pays $5 an hour more than host at Maple and Vine, based on 24 server and 5 host shifts

Saving feels like winning

Log the shift, see what you kept and record how it felt. Pro adds deeper comparisons and your optional set-aside reminder.

Money tools

Paper trail, without the paper.

Earnings records

With Pro, export the earnings you logged for review with your accountant or employer. An optional set-aside planner calculates targets at your chosen percentage, not taxes owed or money already saved.

No rate is selected for you. TipsCoach does not determine tax eligibility or hold your money.

Proof of Earnings

With Pro, create a self-reported PDF statement from your logged earnings. It is a supporting record, not verified payroll or a guarantee that a recipient will accept it.

Earnings statement: $15,465 total over three months, monthly average $5,155, 87% consistency, and a month-by-month table of shifts, hours, tips and wages

How it works

Three taps, then the math is done.

TipsCoach log screen: sales $1,850, card tips $285, cash tips $95, a $30 tip-out taken off automatically, YOU KEEP $350, a note that this was 20.5% of sales against your 18.5% average, and a numpad

1Log the shift

Tips, hours, sales. A numpad sized for one hand at one in the morning, on the walk to the car.

2See what you kept

Your tip-out rules come off automatically, so the hourly on screen is money that stayed in your pocket.

3Learn the pattern

Which nights pay, which section pays, and what next week is shaping up to be worth.

Questions

Tracking tips, answered.

How do I keep track of my tips as a server?

Log each shift as it ends, while you still remember it: the tips you walked with, the hours you worked, and your sales if your tip-out runs on sales. TipsCoach stores that shift by shift so you build a real record instead of a rough memory, and it does the tip-out and hourly math for you.

Does TipsCoach calculate tip-out?

Yes. You set your house rules once, as a percentage of tips or a percentage of sales, and they apply to every shift automatically. Your effective hourly is calculated after tip-out comes off, which is the number that reflects what you actually kept.

Can I track tips at more than one job?

Yes. You can set up several workplaces, each with its own roles, hourly wage, tip-out rules and goal, and compare what each one is really paying you per hour.

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required for core shift logging, saved history and edits. Signing in can associate preview and subscription information with your account; it does not upload your shifts. Optional cloud backup requires an active Pro subscription, sign-in and your confirmation to turn it on. You can restore a saved backup after Pro expires.

Can I use TipsCoach to prove my income?

Proof of Earnings generates a PDF earnings statement covering a period you choose, which you can hand to a landlord or a lender. It is built from the shifts you logged. It is your own record rather than an employer document, so treat it as supporting evidence alongside pay stubs or tax returns.

Does TipsCoach help with taxes on tips?

TipsCoach organizes your logged earnings for review with your accountant. Its optional set-aside planner applies a percentage you choose, without recommending a rate. Targets are not money already saved. The app does not estimate taxes owed, determine deduction eligibility, hold funds, or file taxes.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Core shift logging, saved history and edits work offline. Account management, purchase checks and sending feedback use online services. Backup is currently restricted to separately authorized testing; signing in alone does not back up your records.

Is my tip data private?

Your shift records stay on your phone by default. There are no ads, and we do not sell your data or share it for advertising. Online services support accounts, subscription checks and optional feedback. Turning on Pro backup copies your records to cloud storage. See the Privacy Policy for provider, retention and deletion details.

Is TipsCoach free?

TipsCoach is available on the App Store as Tips Coach: Tip Tracker. Core shift logging, edits, complete history, multiple jobs and the single-shift personal-best badge are free. Pro adds Coach advice, weekly recaps, earnings calendar heatmaps, detailed personal-best insights, comparisons, planning and exports. A complimentary 14-day preview starts on first open, does not automatically charge you and does not include cloud uploads. Confirm subscription prices and terms in the purchase screen.

How does TipsCoach know if my month is on track?

With Pro, it draws your running total for the month against the curve of a typical month, built from the median of your previous complete months, and shades the middle half of those months behind it. The headline is one plain sentence, such as $148 behind your typical month at this point with 27 days left, and every definition is printed on the chart. Until the first shift of a month is logged it stays neutral rather than calling you behind.

Does it track more than money?

Each shift can carry a mood, rough, fine or great, set in one tap after saving and shown beside the money in your history. Tags such as busy, game day or holiday show what those nights are worth against the rest. Pro daily advice states its basis, and names the study when there is one.
