About Tipmunk

The work is real. So is the record.

We've spent years around people who are brilliant at what they do: behind the chair, behind the bar, behind the till, and completely invisible to the system. Tipmunk exists to change that.

For employers

“I own a barbershop in Enfield. One bad haircut and it's my business that eats the review, not the barber who gave it. Tipmunk puts the review where it belongs.”
Rif, Co-Founder, on owning a barbershop in Enfield.

For workers

“I've worked at three different bars. Every time, I lost every regular and every review I'd built. Having Tipmunk means I finally get to keep it.”

The record resets. It shouldn't.

The service industry runs on reputation. A bartender who remembers everyone's order, a hairdresser who nails the cut every time, a PT who shows up and pushes you further than you thought you could go. Their customers come back for them, not the venue.

But when that worker moves on, the record resets. The new employer doesn't know. The new customers start from zero. Two years of loyal regulars and five-star moments disappear into the void because there was never a place to keep them.

We built Tipmunk in 2025 to fix exactly that. A platform where every review comes from a real, verified person, every tip goes directly to the worker, and the profile belongs to the person, not the place they happen to be working right now.

We didn't start small and figure it out as we went. Verified reviews, direct tips, portable profiles, and a way for employers to search by real performance instead of a CV. That was the plan from day one, for every service industry built on reputation, not just a handful of them.

For employers

Hiring shouldn't be a guessing game either.

What we're built on

  1. 1

    Your reputation is portable.

    Every review you earn on Tipmunk stays with you when you move jobs. Not with the venue, not with the employer. With you. That's a first for this industry.

  2. 2

    Proof over promises.

    Every review comes from a real, verified person. No anonymous trolls, no fake stars purchased in bulk. And as we roll out till integrations, reviews get a second layer of proof: an actual transaction behind them.

  3. 3

    The best worker should win.

    Not the one with the loudest social media presence or the most friends to write reviews. One verified five-star review is worth more than a hundred unverifiable ones.

  4. 4

    Built with service workers, not just for them.

    Every feature starts with a conversation with a bartender, a barber, a nail tech, not a boardroom. If it doesn’t make sense to the person using it, it doesn’t ship.
