One QR code vs one code per person
Use one code when tips go to a shared pool. Use separate codes when you need to know who was tipped or which room, station, or employee received gratitude.
The short answer
Use one code when tips go to a shared pool. Use separate codes when you need to credit a specific person, room, station, or campaign.
Single QR
Works for a team jar, a front-desk pool, or a general "support our staff" message.
Multiple codes
Housekeepers with individual cards, bartenders with personal pages, or locations you want to compare in reporting each deserve their own link or location code.
Common misconceptions
One QR for the whole team does not mean tips cannot be split — pooling and sharing happen after payment.
Multiple QR codes do not require guests to install multiple apps — each opens a browser page.

Try it yourself
Create a free tip page, download a QR code, and share it anywhere guests already pause — counter, room, or link in bio.
