Personal Reward Code
Keep the code and shareable link close at hand.
How Aplauso works
One guest moment. Three connected outcomes.
Every shift, guests decide whether to tip, what to post, and whether to come back. Aplauso gives them one easy way to respond: professionals can be tipped even when a guest has no cash, and businesses hear how the service felt before it becomes a review.
Guest
The guest responds
A personal or shared Reward Code opens a mobile web experience. The guest rates the service and can leave feedback without creating an account.
Recognition
The moment finds the right destination
When the flow supports it, the guest can recognize a person or shared team and choose whether to add a cashless tip.
Context
Each side receives what it should
Solo keeps personal Rewards activity together. Authorized Business users receive bounded service evidence and supported follow-up tools.
1 · The guest experience
Easy to understand in the moment.
The rating comes first. From there, the guest can share feedback and, when supported by the flow, add a tip directed to the matching person or team.
Open from a Reward Code or link
The experience runs in a mobile browser with no guest account.
Respond before deciding about a tip
A completed rating provides the service context for the optional recognition step.
Keep the next step appropriate
Strong and concerning responses can lead to different, clearly explained paths.
Aplauso connects a completed guest rating with an optional digital tip directed to the matching person or team and service context.
Interactive product simulation. No payment is processed.
2 · The Solo experience
Recognition stays connected to the person who earned it.
A guest without cash who wanted to tip you no longer has to leave without doing it. Your personal code works wherever you work, starting on your next shift, and the Aplauso Rewards app and Solo dashboard keep everything in one account.
Ratings and feedback
See the guest responses connected to your service.
Tips and wallet
Follow personal tip activity and wallet movement.
Accomplishments
Celebrate service milestones as they happen.
3 · The Business experience
Guest evidence becomes useful operating context.
Tonight’s unhappy guest is tomorrow’s review. Business views connect permitted ratings and feedback to the people, teams, and locations behind the service, so a manager can follow up while the guest is still reachable and great work gets noticed.

Understand satisfaction

Give Recovery an owner
Review a concerning signal, decide whether to start Recovery, assign an eligible owner, and preserve the action history.
Recognize without exposing personal earnings
Review participation and service evidence while exact individual tip amounts remain personal.
Feedback boundary
Aplauso connects guest ratings and feedback to permitted service context so operators can review the evidence, recognize strong work, and decide where follow-up may be appropriate.
Recovery boundary
Configured Recovery can turn a concerning guest signal into an owned item with status, notes, recorded actions, and resolution history.
Clear boundaries by design
Connected does not mean everyone sees everything.
Guest
Uses the mobile experience without an Aplauso account and chooses what to submit.
Professional
Keeps personal Rewards activity, wallet information, and exact individual tip amounts personal.
Business
Receives only the service evidence and operating scope an authorized user is permitted to review.
Every shift counts
Every shift without Aplauso costs something.
For professionals it is tips. For managers it is the problem they hear about last. For owners it is great people who feel invisible.
Nothing to pay up front, for professionals or businesses.
Professionals: tips walking out the door
Recognition comes first, and tipping is optional. Review the applicable payment charges and recipient credit in your transaction record.
Managers: reviews you never saw coming
A low rating reaches a manager privately first, with a chance to make it right before it goes online.
Owners: great people who feel invisible
Staff see the kind words and tips guests leave for them, and you see how guests felt today.
The plain-language answer
Aplauso connects recognition, tips, and service evidence.
Aplauso is a digital tipping and guest feedback platform for independent service professionals and service-led businesses. Guests respond from their phone, recognition reaches the matching person or team, and permitted Business users receive the appropriate service context.
