The Challenges Transportation Operators Face
Your drivers and tour guides deliver exceptional service, but outdated payment systems and lack of real-time feedback hold your business back.
Cash-Dependent Tipping
Most passengers don't carry cash anymore. Your drivers miss out on tips they've earned, leading to lower morale and higher turnover.
Late Guest Feedback
Issues surface in reviews days later, when it's too late to fix problems or recognize outstanding drivers.
High Driver Turnover
Without fair compensation and recognition, experienced drivers leave for better opportunities, disrupting your service quality.
Multi-Vehicle Chaos
Managing tips and performance across buses, boats, shuttles, and tours is a logistical nightmare with no centralized system.
No Performance Insights
You can't identify your top performers or know which routes and tours consistently delight passengers.
Missed Marketing Opportunities
Happy passengers leave without becoming repeat customers or leaving online reviews that drive new bookings.

Real Results from Real Operators
Blue Coast Tours
18 vehicles • Harbor tours & wine country shuttles
"Our drivers were frustrated because most tourists don't carry cash. With Aplauso, tips went from inconsistent to averaging $120-150 per driver per day. Driver retention is up 68%, and our TripAdvisor rating jumped from 4.2 to 4.8 stars. Passengers love the convenience, drivers love the income, and we love the data."
The Breakthrough Moment
"We had a tour guide who was thinking about quitting because tips were so inconsistent. First week with Aplauso, he earned $680 in tips, triple his usual weekly amount. He's now our top-rated guide and trains all new hires. That's when we knew this was a game-changer."
