The natural ask

Ask for a rating, not a tip

You never have to ask a customer for money. Start with a simple question about the service, then let appreciation naturally become recognition, useful feedback, or an optional cashless tip.

A direct tip ask

  • Starts with a request for money
  • Puts the tip ask on the professional
  • Ends with the transaction

Aplauso

  • Starts with a simple service rating
  • Lets appreciation lead naturally
  • Collects recognition or useful private feedback
  • Keeps cashless tipping optional
  • Contributes to your private professional record
