The service industry runs on reputation. A bartender who remembers everyone's order, a hairdresser who nails the cut every time, a PT who shows up and pushes you further than you thought you could go — their customers come back for them, not the venue.
But when that worker moves on, the record resets. The new employer doesn't know. The new customers start from zero. Two years of loyal regulars and five-star moments disappear into the void because there was never a place to keep them.
We built Tipzi in 2024 to fix exactly that. A platform where every review is tied to a real transaction, every tip goes directly to the worker, and the profile belongs to the person — not the place they happen to be working right now.
The first version was a QR code and a review form. Within two weeks, 80 workers were using it. Within six months, we'd expanded across hospitality, beauty, and fitness. In late 2025, employers joined — searching verified workers by real performance data.
Today Tipzi is live with thousands of professionals across the UK. The mission hasn't changed: give every service worker the reputation tools they deserve, and a direct line to the income they earned.
