Tribuo is a cashless giving and sharing platform originally designed for hospitality or anyone who operates in what was a cash-driven economy. Customers or donors scan a QR code and can reward or donate in matter of seconds.
By the end of 2021, only 27% of transactions will involve coins or notes. This spells disaster for workers or charities who are heavily reliant on cash. As the usage of cash shrinks, these cash driven sectors will see their earnings fall significantly.
We are here to provide a new alternative and honest way for these hardworking men and women to receive their tips and gratuities and generate more income for them, at no cost to them.
Tribuo is an extremely simple solution for customers to reward their favourite staff or donate to a charity in seconds via their smart devices. No app required. Just scan a QR code.
If you are a hospitality worker, are self-employed, work in the gig economy or with charities, there is often no method to accept cash as gratuities or donations anymore. Tribuo is a simple and convenient tool to accept these gratuities and donations.
All tips, minus the transaction fees will go to the employees. Tribuo can be completely FREE if you ask your donors to cover your fees. Most supporters choose to do so.
As a business, you have to provide a QR code or a web link which will take your customers to your personalised landing page. This is a 3-5 seconds process.
They can then reward your staff or yourself with Apple Pay, Google/Android Pay or by entering their credit card (all details of which are processed by our payment provider, Stripe).
Stripe is our partner which allows us to process all the payment, store the funds collected and subsequently, distribute the fund back to your nominated account.
Once processed, the monies will be sent straight to your connected Stripe's (our payment provider) account. You or the businesss can decide to share the rewards whenever you wish.
Where teams share tips, they are able to share them out daily, weekly or monthly, based on the hours each team member has worked. We have a free in-built tool which allows you to distribute the rewards based on number of team members, hours or days worked.
For Xero Accounting Platform users, Tribuo also allows you to integrate your accounting platform to extract timesheets to further simplify the distribution process!

Apple Pay and Google Pay, which means the majority of the cards in the digital mobile wallets can be used to reward the team. If mobile wallest is not set up, the customers can also fill in their credit card details.

You can have the QR code anywhere and everywhere so this would have a much bigger reach than just a stand alone tip jar.
Please note, it is best to consult your tax agent as we are no tax professionals! Typically, if a business is registered for GST, and the tips are distributed directly to staff members, the business does not have to pay GST on the tips, nor do they have to report the tips as income.
When the tips are distributed directly to staff via Tribuo, it does not have to be reported as a pay-as-you-go deduction, nor on the employee annual payment summary. However, as an employee, any tips received must be reported as individual income and must be included when the employee lodges their yearly tax return.

In addition, Tribuo allows you to collect donor data, distribute the funds collected, customise your donation page, send tax receipts and much more.

We built Tribuo to allow businesses help their team members take home more gratuities and rewards. This ranges from your favourite cafes and pubs that you frequent to the tour guide you met on your recent trip. Generally, most high-end restaurants and bar employees take home a good amount of tips on a daily basis. However, not all hospitality and service employees work in high end restaurants or bars.
Most employees do not know how much gratuities they should receive or where it goes to. Tribuo provides this transparency and democratise rewards amongst all staff members.
Lastly, most businesses spent countless hours calculating the total gratuities their staff shall receive. Tribuo provides a clean and easy solution to this problem with simple tools designed to reduce the pain and complexity of gratuities distribution.
Tribuo is a virtual tip jar. Scan the QR code and you can choose to reward your favourite venue or staff member.
You can also leave a few words of encouragement or feedback at the end of the payment process to let them know how much you appreciate their service!
