The Waiter Rater

Waiter Rater puts a simple twist on the traditional tip calculator: your server earns their tip.

Start each meal with your preferred tipping percentage. Tap GOOD when the service deserves recognition or BAD when it falls short. Each rating adjusts the earned tip by one percentage point.

When the check arrives, enter the bill and Waiter Rater calculates the tip and total using the percentage your server earned.

Features include:

  • Set your preferred starting tip percentage
  • Rate service throughout your meal
  • Calculate tips before or after tax
  • Round the tip or final total
  • Split the check between multiple people
  • Keep an active meal when you leave and return to the app
  • Light and Dark Mode support

Simple, quick, and designed to stay out of your way until you need it.
