eTip, a digital tipping and financial benefits platform, is now available on Oracle Cloud Marketplace and can be deployed on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and integrated with OPERA Cloud via the Oracle Hospitality Integration Platform (OHIP).
Hotels and hospitality companies using Oracle Hospitality OPERA Cloud can now use eTip’s cashless tip disbursement platform. Oracle Cloud Marketplace is a centralized repository of enterprise applications offered by Oracle and Oracle partners.
The key benefits of the integration, according to the companies, include:
- Eight seconds to tip: Guests experience a branded QR-code-based tipping process without the need for any application downloads.
- Charge-to-room: Through the OPERA Cloud integration, guests can choose the “charge to room” option, consolidating all charges onto a single bill.
- Flexible tip disbursement: eTip Direct enables near-instant and automated tip disbursement, paid either to staff directly or via payroll.
- Robust reporting, including:
– Automated compliance and tax reporting.
– Tips per occupied room.
– Performance reporting by team, property, brand, and group.
– Positive guest feedback.
By removing friction from the tipping process, eTip can increase staff earnings and increase hourly earnings, contributing to higher employee morale and a better guest experience, according to the company.
“The growing demand for technologies like both eTip and OPERA Cloud speaks to the need for hospitality companies to automate and simplify the manual, time-consuming aspects of hotel management,” said Nicolas Cassis, cofounder/CEO, eTip. “eTip’s participation in Oracle Cloud Marketplace further extends our commitment to the Oracle community and enables customers to easily reap the benefits of the eTip platform. We look forward to leveraging the power of OCI to help us achieve our business goals.”
