Cashless tipping in New York

From Midtown hotels to Broadway tours, New York runs on hospitality — and on visitors who increasingly carry no cash.

New York City may be the busiest hospitality market in the country: thousands of hotels, salons, tour operators and valet stands serving millions of visitors a year. But as cash disappears from wallets, the housekeeper, guide or stylist who earned a tip too often goes unthanked.

ScanToTIP fixes that with a QR code guests scan and pay by phone. Whether you run a boutique hotel in SoHo, a salon in Brooklyn, or walking tours around Manhattan, you can set up cashless tipping yourself in minutes — free, with no hardware and no contract.
