TipYo is a secure mobile tipping solution partnering with hospitality companies to enable travelers to express their gratitude to service staff. TipYo is now available at hotels throughout the country. It has reimagined tipping in this time of social distancing with “touchless tipping.” “Showing gratitude from six feet away is a new challenge for travelers,” notes TipYo founder Brian Walsh. “And tipping was already complicated by our increasingly cashless world, with hotel valets, bellhops, housekeeping staff and concierge teams losing income as a result.” TipYo has solved this conundrum for guests, hotels and hospitality workers with a new approach that is “promising to streamline the tipping experience for travelers everywhere,” according to a February report by Bloomberg News. With a few taps on their phones, guests can use TipYo to show their gratitude to hardworking hospitality employees by giving a generous tip — an approach that is especially useful as social distancing becomes the new normal for Americans.
