TipCompliance automates the 8% allocation and Form 8027 generation your restaurant clients need — so your firm stops doing it by hand. Manage every client from one login, deliver branded output, and reduce your liability exposure.

Two ways to partner

Pick the model that fits your practice.

Whether you have one restaurant client or fifty, there's a track built for your workflow.

20% recurring

Track A — Refer

Recommend TipCompliance to your restaurant clients and earn 20% recurring revenue share for as long as they stay — with zero billing, support, or operations on your side. Best for generalist firms with the occasional restaurant client.

Passive income · zero ops
Wholesale, volume-tiered

Track B — White-label

Run TipCompliance as a service line. Manage all your clients in the multi-client dashboard, deliver output under your firm's brand, and bill clients yourself. Wholesale pricing scales down as you add clients — the more you run, the lower your per-client cost. Best for hospitality-focused firms and bookkeeping services.

Your brand · your billing
The business case

The math your firm already knows.

Manual Form 8027 prep and allocation runs $600–$2,000 per client, per year in firm labor — repetitive, error-prone, and a liability you carry. TipCompliance replaces it for a fraction of that, frees the hours, and lowers your exposure. Firms that productize it as a "tip compliance service" turn a cost center into recurring margin.

$600–$2,000
Manual 8027 cost per client
Per client, per year in firm labor — and that's before any errors or IRS inquiries.

Reclaimed per client you onboard
Allocation math, employee mapping, and form generation — all automated.
Lower liability
Defensible, audit-ready records
Every calculation logged and timestamped. The math is defensible; the exposure is yours to reduce.
Built for the new tip rules

Your clients' payroll needs figures that don't exist anywhere else — yet.

Your clients' payroll providers file the W-2 — but the qualified-tip and occupation-code figures sit on tip data you already touch. TipCompliance produces them, so your clients' payroll is right and the liability isn't yours.

The "No Tax on Tips" deduction requires per-employee qualified-tip figures (W-2 Box 12), Tipped Occupation Codes (Box 14b), and service-charge separation that no POS system provides. TipCompliance is purpose-built to produce exactly those outputs.

TipCompliance is a complement to payroll, never a replacement. W-2 generation and Box 12 filing stay with your clients' payroll providers — we supply the figures; they file them.
