Switching who receives tips without reprinting QR codes

You should not need new signage every time staff rotates. Keep the same printed code and change who is linked or how tips are shared behind the page.

The short answer

Keep the same printed QR on the counter or station. Update who is linked to that location or how tips are shared when the shift changes — not the sticker on the jar.

Why teams care

Reprinting QR labels every week is expensive and error-prone. Page-backed codes exist precisely to avoid that churn.

Communication

Staff should know which pool or person currently receives tips from each code so guests get consistent answers if they ask.

Common misconceptions

  • Changing who receives tips does not require new printed QR codes when the code opens a page you manage.

  • Rotating staff does not mean reprinting signage every week — update who is linked or how tips are shared instead.
