Tip Pool Calculator · Part of the WRI suite
Tip pools without the 45-minute fight.

Built by an operator, for operators.A restaurant manager built this for his crew. Now it’s open to yours.
60-second tour
See it run a Friday night close.
Fair, fast tip distribution with a clear record.
The problem
The problem this fixes.
If you've run a restaurant for more than a year, you already know these. The question is what they're costing you.
Math gets challenged.
One person runs the numbers, the next day someone disputes a $14 difference, and you spend an hour reconstructing it.
Hours are inconsistent.
POS exports say one thing, the schedule says another, and the line cook swears they stayed 30 minutes late.
No paper trail.
If the DOL audits you, "we did it on a calculator" is not an answer that holds up.
What it does

Common questions
Things operators ask before they sign up.
Is the 14-day trial really free? Do you need a card?
Yes, card required to start the trial. You're not charged until day 15, and you can cancel anytime from your account before then with one click. No 'trial ending' upsell calls.
What happens if my internet goes out mid-shift?
Right now the tools need an internet connection to save your work, so we recommend a phone with cell data as a backup to restaurant WiFi. Offline support is on the roadmap, not yet live.
What about data security and ownership?
Your data belongs to you. Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Daily off-site backups. Export your tip pool history as CSV anytime, or request a full copy of your data by email. We never share or sell operator data.
Is there training, or do I just figure it out?
Each tool has built-in how-to content and step-by-step guidance inside the app, so you and your staff can pick it up without a manual.
How do I cancel?
One click from your account page. No phone call, no retention specialist, no 'are you sure' flow. Refunds within 30 days, no questions asked.
What kind of support do you offer?
Email support 7am–9pm CT every day at support@wireach.tools. Pro Suite customers also get an SMS escalation line for kitchen-down issues during service hours.
Who's behind WRI?
K. Pinckney, a restaurant operator who got tired of running a back-of-house on a clipboard and a stack of paper. He taught himself to turn every sheet into an app and built the 6 tools in WRI. Built initially for the restaurant he runs.
