Cashout · Finance · iPhone
Three numbers at the end of the shift — net sales, cash tips, card tips. Cashout applies your house's tip out rules, shows the split role by role, and files the night away so the whole year adds up later.
Free to use. Pro is $19.99 a year after a 7-day trial.
Most servers can do the tip out in their head at the bar. The part that breaks is everything after: the slip goes in an apron pocket, the pocket goes through the wash, and by the time anyone asks what a month looked like there is nothing left but a guess. The apps built for this have their own failure — read the reviews of the big ones and the most common one-star story is data loss after an update, a logout, or a new phone. Cashout is built the other way around: the number is the easy part, the record is the product. Everything lives on the phone, a backup file goes to your iCloud Drive on its own, and nothing is ever deleted to make you pay.
What it does
Bar 1.5% of net sales, busser 1%, runner 0.5% — or 8% to the bar off your tips, or a flat $20 to the host. Six rule types cover percent of net, bar or food sales, percent of all tips or card tips, and fixed dollars. Add as many roles as your house has.
Tip out usually comes out of the cash in your pocket while the card tips arrive on payday. Cashout tracks both and tells you when the cash on hand will not cover what you owe the bar tonight.
Every saved shift keeps a frozen snapshot of the split — the roles, the percentages and the dollars as they were that night. Changing your rules later never rewrites a shift you already saved.
Half a shift behind the bar, no runner at lunch, the manager rounded it off — type what you actually handed over and the shift records that instead of the calculated figure.
Cash tips, card tips, tip out paid to others, tips after tip out, service charges kept separate, hours, and a breakdown by job. Cashout adds up your own numbers and stops there — it does not work out taxes and does not give advice.
Automatic backup to your iCloud Drive, a manual backup file you can move yourself, and restore — all free. Apps in this category charge for backups. Keeping your own records safe is not a product.
How a shift goes
Name each role your house tips out and pick what the percentage comes off. Takes about a minute on the first run, and most people never open the screen again.
Net sales, cash tips, card tips. Date, station, hours and a note are optional and live one tap deeper.
The split, the take-home, and how much cash to hand in. Save, and it joins the week, the month and the year.

FAQ
Cashout writes a small backup file into your own iCloud Drive automatically, and the new phone reads it on first launch. You can also save the file yourself and move it however you like. Data loss after an update or a phone swap is the single most common complaint in reviews of the apps in this category, which is why backup and restore are free here rather than a paid extra.
Yes. Open the shift in the log and edit any field — sales, tips, hours, date, note. The saved split updates with it, and there is no duplicate left behind. Several competing apps write a shift once and never let you correct it, which turns one typo into a wrong year.
The tip out part is, but the log is not. Leave the rules list empty and Cashout records what you were handed each night, your hours, your sales, and adds it up by week, month and year. It does not calculate your share of a pool split by hours or points — those numbers belong to the whole team, not your phone.
Whichever one your house tips out on, entered exactly as your cash-out slip prints it. Cashout does not adjust for discounts, comps or voids — it takes the figure you give it. Houses differ on this and the difference is real money, so it is worth asking a manager which line on the slip the percentages come off.
Every shift has an override field: type what you actually handed over and the shift stores that number with a mark showing it was entered by hand. That covers split stations, a host who only gets tipped out on weekends, a manager who rounds, and anything else a rules list cannot predict.
No. It adds up your own numbers — tips received, tip out paid to others, tips after tip out, service charges kept separate — and shows them by month, year and job. It does not calculate tax, does not mention rates, and does not give advice. That part belongs to your employer or an accountant.
None, in the free version or the paid one. No banners, no interstitials, no prompt three times a session. The paid tier exists so the free one does not need advertising.
Neither. There is no sign-up, no password and no server holding your shifts. Everything is computed and stored on the phone. The iCloud Drive backup is a file in your own Drive folder, not a sync service run by us.
Cashout runs on iOS 26.0 and later. No account, no network calls, nothing leaves the phone except the backup file you keep in your own iCloud Drive.
