Cashless tipping in San Francisco

One of the most cashless cities in America — tipping needs to keep up.

San Francisco went cashless earlier than almost anywhere: hotels, tours and salons here serve guests who pay for everything by phone.

ScanToTIP is built for exactly that — a QR code guests scan and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card. Set it up yourself, free, with nothing to install.
