#1-rated Digital Tipping Software — HotelTechAwards 2024, 2025, 2026

Put More Money in your staff's pocket — without touching your P&L.

Canary Digital Tipping turns the cashless guests already on your property into a recurring raise for housekeeping, front desk, and BOH — and a measurable lift in service scores and retention for you.

75%
Less Staff Turnover

"Since launching Digital Tipping two years ago, we only lost five housekeepers total. For comparison, in the previous two years, I hired up to 20 housekeepers.” — GM at Hotel 1620 in the Linchris Portfolio

6%
Uptick in Cleanliness Scores

“Our cleanliness score increased from a 92 to a 98. Attaching their names to the rooms they’re cleaning inspires a sense of ownership and responsibility. They get to take pride in saying ‘I cleaned this room.’” — Executive Housekeeper at Hyatt Place Durham Southpoint

+7–10
Pt Engagement Bumps

"We’re seeing engagement scores go up and turnover go down.” — Talent Manger at Plamondon Hospitality, which had one hotel improve engagement scores from 77% to 87% in a single year; at another, it jumped from 89% to a 95%.

Why teams roll it out

A win for every seat in the back office.

For GMs

For Executive Housekeepers

Recognition your team actually feels.

Personalized QR cards on the nightstand let guests tip the housekeeper by name. Average tip per room jumps from $3–4 to ~$10, and morale follows.

Real properties, real numbers

"It's been a win-win for both guests and associates."

Once they get the first tip, they're hooked. They want to keep going and going. I've had the same housekeepers for a long time, whereas other hotels have consistent turnover.
