What is a Tip Screen?
A Tip Screen is a fullscreen, point-of-sale style tipping display. Set your bill subtotal and the tip percentages you want to offer, then go fullscreen and hand the device to your customer — they'll see the exact amount for each tip percentage side by side, tap one, and get the total with a thank-you screen. It also works as a joke tip screen — change the heading to whatever favor you want "tipped" for (holding a door, walking the dog, one more episode) and show it to a friend or coworker for a laugh.
How to use it
- Pick a preset (Restaurant, Coffee Shop or Joke), or enter your own heading, subtotal, currency and three tip percentages.
- Choose whether to show the Custom Tip and No Tip buttons.
- Click Click to Fullscreen (or press F / Space) to switch to kiosk mode.
- Tapping a tip shows the tip and the new total with a thank-you screen, which resets on its own after a few seconds for the next person.
- Press Esc at any time to exit fullscreen.
Example
For a $40 subtotal with 15%, 20%, and 25% tip options, the screen shows $6.00, $8.00, and $10.00 side by side — the customer taps $8.00 and sees a $48.00 total and a thank-you message.
Tip Screen Etiquette: Do You Have to Tip?
Tip screens now appear at coffee counters, food trucks, stadiums and even self-checkout kiosks, and the suggested percentages have crept up. In the US, 15–20% is customary for table service at a sit-down restaurant. At a counter where you order and pick up yourself, a tip is optional, and at self-checkout or ordinary retail no tip is expected, so tapping No Tip is fine. For businesses, offering sensible percentages and a visible No Tip or Custom Tip button keeps customers from feeling pressured.
Common Use Cases
- Cafes, food trucks, and small restaurants without a full POS tipping system.
- Tablets or kiosks left at the counter for customers to self-select a tip.
- Delivery or service providers presenting tip options in person.
- A joke tip screen for friends, roommates or coworkers, with Joke mode making "No Tip" as awkward as the real thing.
FAQ
- Can I change the tip percentages? Yes, edit any of the three percentage fields before going fullscreen, or start from a preset.
- What happens when someone taps a tip? The screen shows the tip and the total with a thank-you message, then returns to the tip choice after a few seconds, ready for the next person.
- Does this process payments? No — it's a display only, showing tip amounts for reference; it doesn't charge cards or record transactions.
- Can I use this for a joke tip screen? Yes — use the Joke preset or turn on Joke mode, and "No Tip" asks "Are you sure?" a few times before it gives in. You can also hide the No Tip button entirely, or change the heading to any favor you want "tipped" for.
