How to track tips by location
Location tracking ties each tip to a place, room, property, or campaign — so reporting stays clear when you operate in more than one spot.
The short answer
Location tracking attaches each tip to a property, room group, register, event, or campaign so you can compare performance without guessing from one blended total.
Why it matters
Multi-site hotels, food trucks with several stops, and fundraisers with different QR cards all need to know which sign drove which tips.
Setup pattern
Create a location for each place or person that needs distinct reporting. Each location gets its own URL path or QR while sharing one account structure.
Common misconceptions
Location tracking does not require GPS on the guest’s phone — it uses the QR or link they scanned.
Separate properties do not always need completely separate accounts; location codes can organize reporting on one 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.
