Every shift, every tip, counted.
Sidework is a tip tracker for servers, bartenders, bussers, hosts and baristas. Log a shift in ten seconds, see what you really make an hour, and split the tip pool with your crew to the cent. Free, no sign-up.

How it works
- Add where you work and your base pay per hour.
- After each shift, log your cash tips, card tips, tip-out and hours. A reminder on your work nights helps.
- If your restaurant pools tips, start a team and send your crew the code. The pool splits itself.
- Check the week, the month and the year whenever you want: the numbers are yours.
Questions
Is Sidework free?
Yes, with every feature. The app shows ads, which is how it pays for itself.
Who can see my tips?
Only you. Your own shifts and tips are stored on your phone, not on our servers. A team shares only its pools: the names, roles, hours and shares in each one.
Does the whole crew need the app?
No. Whoever runs the pool can enter it for everyone, and add people who aren't on the app by name. Those who join see their share without asking.
Is it a tax app?
No. It keeps an accurate record and adds it up; what you report is between you and your tax preparer.
