sunday AI Tips triples server tips in Europe

As it’s increasingly common to run out of change to tip at restaurants, “sunday AI Tips” transforms this gesture into a new customer experience and makes it easier for teams to manage it. Indeed, this simple and intuitive way to leave a tip on the PDQ when paying the bill encourages customer generosity thanks to:

• smart suggestions generated by AI: Artificial intelligence algorithms suggest optimal tips based on the time of day, naturally boosting amounts.
• continuous optimization: ongoing A/B testing adapts suggestions to each establishment’s specific tipping model.
• servers are notified in real time: Teams are notified as soon as they receive a tip.

“With sunday AI Tips, we have managed to transform a harmless habit into a new end-of-meal customer experience. ; even without change, leaving a tip becomes a simple and quick gesture thanks to the application” explain Kevin Meert, sunday Chief Sales Officer. “Our customers, both diners and restaurateurs, love the ease of use, and servers see a tangible increase in their tips..”

With these innovative features, servers are actually seeing a significant increase in their income, with tips three times larger.

sunday distributes tips directly to servers in Europe

For restaurant owners, the headaches of end-of-service distribution of tips among employees are over. This is often a tedious and time-consuming process. With sunday AI Tips, they can easily share tips in just a few clicks. The application eliminates the complexities associated with cash management, logistics, tax obligations, staff tensions, and even the risk of theft.

“We’ve designed a solution that simplifies managers’ lives while ensuring transparent and fair distribution of tips to servers, without having to centralize them. This is a real relief for establishment managers.” adds Kevin Meert.

Three scenarios adapted to all establishment models:

• Direct distribution: each server receives 100% of the tips they have collected.
• Sharing between employees: in two clicks each week, a person in charge distributes the tips between the employees, whether they are only in the dining room or also in the kitchen
• Mixed: part of the tips is shared, the other part is not. The tip manager chooses the method that suits him best.

By opting for this solution, restaurateurs simplify their tip management as much as possible while eliminating risks. Indeed, by decentralizing tips, sunday AI Tips allows them to be 100% compliant with regard to the distribution of amounts to kitchen staff (prohibited in the case of centralized tips) and with regard to the employer’s tax obligations.

This part of the product should be soon available in the US.

A tool adopted and appreciated by the teams and by the restaurateur

With sunday AI Tips, restaurant staff satisfaction is guaranteed.

• A significant salary increase: nothing like it to motivate teams, engage them more and attract new talent.
• An intuitive server application: each employee can track their tips in real time and with complete transparency.
• A fast onboarding: it only takes a few minutes for employees to get to grips with the tool.
• Reduced management burden for managers: save time and focus on the essentials.

The application has already been adopted by more than 500 establishments with initial convincing results:

“Thanks to sunday AI Tips, we’ve seen a huge increase in tips in our restaurants in just two months, with a fair distribution that motivates and engages the entire team. But the impact goes far beyond that: this system attracts new qualified talent, strengthens staff loyalty, and sustainably improves our internal dynamics with less turnover. All this with ultra-simplified management, requiring only one hour per week for 90 employees. A real revolution for our teams and our attractiveness.” rejoices Maxime Quennet, Operations Manager, Les Petits Prés.
