Sidework: Server Tip Tracker

Sidework is a tip tracker for servers, bartenders, bussers, hosts and baristas. After you clock out, log the shift in ten seconds: cash tips, credit card tips, your tip-out and the hours you worked. Sidework shows what you take home, what you really make an hour with and without your base pay, and which nights pay best.

Your tip log
• Log a shift by hours or by clock in and clock out, at one job or several.
• Cash and card tips, the tip-out to the bussers, bar and hosts, your sales and your hourly wage.
• This week's take-home and a weekly goal, on a page where every shift you work gets its own sticker.
• A reminder after your shift on the days you work, and last week's summary once a week.
• A home screen widget with this week's tips and hours.

See what you really make
• Take-home tips by week, month, year and all time.
• Your real hourly, with and without base pay, and your tips as a percentage of sales.
• The day of the week that pays best, and lunch against dinner against brunch.
• The last twelve weeks side by side.

Tip-out calculator
• Set your tip-out rules once (say 2% of sales to the bussers and 1% to the bar) and Sidework works out what you owe on every shift.

Tip pool calculator for the whole crew
• Start a team for your restaurant or bar and send the crew its code.
• Enter the pool and everyone's hours. Sidework splits it by hours, by points times hours or evenly, to the cent.
• Everyone adds their own share to their own shifts with one tap.

Ready for tax time
• The year's cash tips, card tips and tip-outs in one place.
• Export a year of shifts as a CSV file for your tax preparer or a spreadsheet.
• A running total against the $25,000 a year that the federal no tax on tips deduction covers from 2025 through 2028. Sidework keeps the record; it does not give tax advice.

Private by design
• Your shifts and tips stay on your phone, with nothing to sign up for.
• A team shares only its pools: names, roles and hours.

Sidework is in English and Spanish. It is free, with ads.
