How Bellyard Hotel Got Tips to Every Housekeeper, Including Contract Staff Without Bank Accounts

Bellyard Hotel is a Marriott Tribute Portfolio boutique hotel at The Interlock in Atlanta's West Midtown, with a team of 50+. Guests kept coming to the front desk asking to tip housekeeping by card.

Bellyard launched eTip with QR codes on custom wooden stands and a pooled tip system that pays every housekeeping role, contractors included.
