Every tip. Every crew member. Paid.
Guests scan a QR code, tip from their phone in seconds, and your crew gets paid directly to their bank. No app downloads. No cash counting. No tip jars.
Three steps. No training manual.
Set up once, then forget about it. CrewJar handles every tip from scan to payout.
Guest scans, tips in seconds
A QR code at your venue opens a branded tip page — no app to download, no account to create. Guests pick an amount, tap to pay, done.
Tips split automatically
You define how tips are divided across your crew — equal splits, custom ratios, role-based. Every tip follows your rules automatically.
Crew gets paid directly
Each crew member connects their bank via Stripe. Tips land in their account on a schedule you control. No middleman, no cash handling.
Built for how crews actually work.
Not another generic payment tool. CrewJar is purpose-built for teams that earn tips together.

How fees work on a $20 tip
Studies show small, transparent fees don't reduce tipping behavior. Most operators let guests cover processing.
The things operators ask first.
What does CrewJar cost?
CrewJar is free for operators and crew. There are no monthly fees, no per-seat charges, and no setup costs. We take a 4% platform fee on each tip — that's it. Stripe processing fees (2.9% + 30¢) are separate and can be covered by the guest if you choose.
Will guests actually use this instead of cash?
Yes. Most people don't carry cash anymore. By offering a digital option, you capture tips that would otherwise be lost entirely. Operators consistently report higher total tip volume after switching to CrewJar.
How do crew members get paid?
Each crew member connects their bank account through Stripe (takes about 2 minutes). Tips are automatically split and transferred on a schedule you control — daily, weekly, or manual.
Can I customize how tips are split?
Absolutely. You can split tips equally across all crew, assign custom percentages, or set up role-based splits (e.g., captain gets 40%, first mate gets 30%, deckhand gets 30%). Splits are applied automatically to every tip.
Can I run multiple experiences?
Yes. Whether you run sunset cruises, fishing charters, and dive trips, each experience gets its own crew assignments, QR codes, and tip settings — all managed from one dashboard.
What if a guest wants to tip cash?
That's totally fine. CrewJar adds a digital option — it doesn't replace cash. You can keep a tip jar alongside your QR code. Most operators find that digital tips supplement rather than replace cash.
How is this different from Venmo or PayPal?
Venmo requires guests to know a specific person's handle, can't split tips across a crew, and gives you zero visibility into tipping. CrewJar is purpose-built for crew tipping — branded pages, automatic splits, real-time dashboards, and direct-to-bank payouts.
How long does setup take?
Most operators are fully set up in under 10 minutes. Create your account, add your crew, print your QR code, and you're live. Crew members onboard themselves by connecting their bank — no training needed.
