From the receipt to the verdict, in three steps.

  1. 1

    Log the receipt

    Take a photo of the printed receipt and TipSense reads the restaurant, tax, tip and total, or type it in. You check every amount before it's saved, and the photo never leaves your phone.

    Log a receipt screen with a camera viewfinder, a Take photo button and a Type it in button.

    See what you tipped

    Every receipt shows the tip against the subtotal before tax, the way US tipping is usually figured, with one plain verdict and what 15, 18, 20 or 25 percent would have cost.

Is the tip fair here?

Other diners review restaurants on the one thing tip screens don't tell you: whether a service charge is already on the bill, and whether the tip they asked for felt fair.

A 20% service charge is already on the bill, then the tablet asks for a tip.
