Questions? We've Got Answers

Is there really no monthly fee?+

Absolutely none. We only make money when you make money. If we don't generate new tips for your team, you pay nothing. That's how confident we are in what Aplauso delivers.

What if my staff already gets tips?+

Aplauso gives guests a cashless option when they want to tip but do not have cash. These digital tips can add a new channel on top of what your staff already receives.

How much do my staff really keep?+

Your team keeps 90% of every new tip. If a guest tips $10, your staff member gets $9. This is money that wouldn't exist at all without Aplauso, so your team is up $9 they never had before.

What about payment processing fees?+

All handled for you. Your staff gets a clean 90% of every tip with no surprise deductions and no hidden fees. What they see is what they get.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Absolutely! No contracts, no commitments. If Aplauso isn't generating amazing results, you can stop using it anytime. But we're confident you won't want to once you see your team's earnings soar.

How fast do staff get their tips?+

Tips appear in their digital wallet instantly. Staff can cash out anytime they reach $25, and funds arrive in their account within 24-48 hours. Fast, transparent, and reliable.
