Driver tip tracking is a big part of managing driver pay in the tour industry, but it's a mess without the right tool. Tour Management Made Right lets drivers log tips per tour, breaks down cash vs card, applies tip pooling rules, and generates payroll-ready income reports.
After each tour, drivers enter the tip amount directly in the mobile app. Cash and card amounts are logged separately. Each entry ties to the specific tour, guest group, and date for a clean audit trail.
No more end-of-week guesstimates or lost receipts. Tips are recorded when they happen.

Each driver gets an income dashboard showing total earnings by day, week, or pay period. Base pay, tips, mileage reimbursement, and bonuses all show up in one view. Drivers see exactly what they earned and when.
Operators see the same data from the admin side for payroll prep.

If your operation uses tip pooling or tip sharing between drivers and support staff, Tour Management Made Right handles the math. Configure pooling rules by tour type, percentage splits, or role. The system calculates each person's share automatically.
Rules apply consistently across all tours so nobody has to argue about who gets what.
Export income data grouped by driver and pay period. Reports include base pay, tips (cash and card), mileage reimbursements, and deductions. Formatted for direct import into your payroll system or handoff to your accountant.
Connects to Invoicing and Payments for a complete financial picture.
After each tour, the driver enters the tip amount (cash and/or card) in the mobile app. Takes 10 seconds.
Tip pooling rules apply automatically. Income totals roll up by driver, tour type, and pay period.
Generate payroll-ready reports with base pay, tips, mileage, and deductions. Export as CSV or PDF.
Wine tour tipping norms vary a lot. A private couple on a Napa Valley full-day tour tips differently than a 12-person bachelorette group doing four Sonoma tasting rooms. Group size, winery count, tour duration, and whether the driver handled tasting fees all affect the final tip. Tour Management Made Right captures these details per tour so you can see tipping patterns and set fair expectations for your drivers.
