Your people,
recognised.

Looking for the console, the pools and the tronc? dab for business

Retention

Tips that land instantly and in full give your best people a reason to stay. Recognition is the cheapest retention tool you have.

Guest experience

Guests want to thank great service and increasingly have no cash to do it. dab gives them a graceful way, on brand, in a tap.

Clean by design

Money never flows through you. You licence the surface; the worker owns the device and the wallet. Where a team pools, dabdab runs the tronc.

FS

Their colour. Their crest. Our asterisk.

The hotel chooses its exact brand colour and places its mark on the disc. The discreet dabdab asterisk stays in its fixed position — the one element that says “this is a dab”. The result is an object a five-star brand is happy to have its people wear.

The concierge, the doorman, the housekeeper and the waiter each wear their own dab, with their own name on the back. A guest taps, thanks them directly, and the tip lands with that person — not in a shared pot the guest can’t see.

1 · Design the face
The group sets its brand colour and uploads its logo in the customiser, and previews the dab live — flat and worn on a person.
2 · Order at volume
Devices are produced with the approved face and shipped to each property, with role-specific designs if needed.
3 · Staff own them
Each team member activates their own wallet and writes their name on the back. The hotel never touches the money.
4 · Guests thank directly
A tap thanks the individual. The group gets happier staff and a modern, on-brand gesture — with zero payroll exposure.
The customiser

See your brand on the disc in seconds.

Pick your exact brand colour, drop in your logo, and watch the dab render live. We check contrast automatically, so every face stays legible and every asterisk stays visible. Save the design to your account or send it straight to production.

How it stays clean

You licence the surface. Nothing else.

  • The venue licences the device face. It never receives or holds a tip, and no tip money passes through your books.
  • The worker owns the device and the wallet. The money is theirs from the moment it lands.
  • Direct is the default: every dab settles straight to the worker who received it, and no tronc arises.
  • If a team chooses to pool, dabdab is appointed independent troncmaster and administers what the team adopts by vote — so you stay outside allocation and the National Insurance exemption holds.
  • Staff opt in individually, and anyone who declines keeps their own tips — invisibly to their colleagues.

The full governance model — pools, cycles, regional policy and the tronc — is set out on dab for business. We’re happy to walk your finance and legal teams through it in detail.
