The Buy-In Program · by TipMax
How do you get servers to actually care about customer service — and raise your average check?
You don't train them. You get them bought in. For their tips.
Help your staff earn more by getting better at what they do.
Every restaurant training program fails the same way: corporate content, assigned by management, done grudgingly "for the restaurant." Your staff knows unpaid homework when they see it. So it doesn't get done — and the money you spent on it walks out the door with your next server.
Here's the flip: your floor already works on commission. It's called tips.
Put the menu, the pairings, and the guest questions inside the app where servers track their own money — privately — and they study on the bus. For themselves. Better menu knowledge, better answers, better suggestions, bigger checks, bigger tips. The incentive was there the whole time. Nobody wired the training to it. We did.
Proof it isn't theory: thousands of servers already use TipMax voluntarily, on their own money. Not one of them was told to by a manager. No training vendor on earth can show you that.
What your restaurant gets — free, forever
The Forever Link$2,700/yr value for a 15-server floor
50% off TipMax yearly for every employee you’ll ever hire. It never expires. One link, group-chat-proof — every future hire gets the same deal on day one.
Their Private Money Appthe reason they actually use it
Every server tracks their own tips, tip percentage over time, and best shifts. Visible to no one but them. Not your program — their tool.
Menu Mastery Decks$500 value, built in minutes
Upload your menu once. It becomes flashcards for the whole team. New hires study the menu before their first shift — on the bus, not on your floor.
The First-5-Shifts Pack$250 saved per hire
Onboarding decks so a new hire’s first week isn’t menu questions in front of guests.
The Break-Room QR Posterdone for you
Print it, pin it, done. Every hire onboards themselves from the break room.
The Privacy Promise — in writingthe reason it works
We will never show you who studied what or what anyone earns. Aggregate numbers only. That’s exactly why your staff will trust it enough to use it.
What it costs you — and what the catch is
Nothing. No card, no contract, no onboarding call. Setup is ten minutes, and the entire rollout is forwarding one link to your staff group chat. There is no step three.
Our angle, openly: we only make money if your servers choose to pay for an app that makes them better at their jobs. If they don't love it, we make nothing. Our incentives are exactly yours.
Two more promises. If running this ever takes you more than ten minutes a month, tell us and we'll do it for you. And the Group-Chat Guarantee: forward the link once — if your team doesn't open it within 30 days, we'll close your page and you'll never hear from us again.
We onboard a limited batch of restaurants per city each month, so every menu gets reviewed by a human.
