Most restaurant operators treat tips like a liability—or worse, an afterthought. But Kirk Grogan sees them for what they really are: one of the most powerful tools in your business. As co-founder of TipHaus, Kirk has helped thousands of restaurants transform tip management from a source of stress and legal risk into a lever for culture, retention, and operational clarity. In this episode, we break down why tip strategy is leadership strategy, how transparency builds trust and performance, and what happens when your team feels seen, paid, and empowered. If you think tip management is just about math, this conversation will blow your mind.
