Online Platform to Pay Tip
Overview
Tipster is the easiest way to pay and receive a tip. An app is specially made for customers who want to spend their restaurant bill online and want to give directions, but they won't have any cash. Nowadays, all the people are making online payments whenever they go like a restaurant, traveling, etc.. What you need to do! Just type in the unique four-digit code of the person you want to tip. The best part of an app is either a waiter, delivery driver, or hairdresser - you can receive tips directly to your bank account with Tipster. Reward excellent service and decide whom tip and how much perfect for when you don't have cash! Tipster is great for business owners too - attract and retain motivated staff and save on NI Contribution.
Client Requirement
Our client believes that tip is a voluntary gift from the customer to the person providing the service and that tips should, therefore, not be covered as part of your employment contract. Nowadays, customers prefer to pay online, and when you don't have any cash, how can customers give tips to a service provider? A client has a unique idea for providing tip to the workers. Our client wanted to develop an application from where a customer can give a tip, and any staff members received a tip quickly by sharing their four digits unique code with any customers. A client wants only one app for both customers who give any tip and service providers who can receive tips. He approached Hyperlink InfoSystem to develop "Tipster," where customers can happily provide a tip for the service provider for their excellent service with some exciting in-app features. He wanted to create an app for both Android and iOS platforms.

Challenges
Single App For Workers & Customers:
Clients wanted to develop a single app for both users, workers, and customers. To manage both users' action on time in a single app was a little bit tough task. After integrating some technical logic, our developers worked everything successfully.
To Handle Data On Offline Mode:
A client wanted to develop an app that works in offline mode also. Users can see their details like total earning, payment details, address details, and much more in offline mode also. Our developers have managed to sync this whole data when an app is on online mode, and then they provide that data on offline mode.
