Sales, tips and the staff list
Restaurants want Gratee to read their sales, tips and staff list from your system.
- Checks and their totals
- Tips
- Payments (card brand and last four digits only)
- Discounts
- Refunds
- Automatic gratuity
- Shifts
- Employees
For point-of-sale providers
Your restaurants ask.
We read only.
You decide how.
Gratee splits tips fairly among restaurant staff in Canada and prepares their payouts. Restaurants that use your point-of-sale system want Gratee to read their sales, tips and staff list from you, so that nobody keys them in twice. We are asking for your approval to connect, on your terms.
- Read-only access
- Authorised by each restaurant
- Revocable at any time
- No card numbers, SINs or bank details
What Gratee is
Tip pooling, done right
Each night's tips are calculated from the restaurant's own records, checked by two people, and paid to the team. Your system is where the sales and tips are already recorded.
01
Automatic split
Tips are shared from hours, roles and sales, under rules the restaurant sets and approves.
02
Two-person approval
Every payout and every rules change is prepared by one person and approved by another.
03
Audit trail
A tamper-evident record of every dollar, from the figure read to the amount paid.
What Gratee asks to access
Read-only, and only these fields
The fields are listed one by one in section P of the checklist we send you. Gratee asks for those and no others.
Nothing is written back
Gratee reads. It does not create, change or delete anything in your system.
From payments Gratee takes the card brand and the last four digits only, never the card number.
The restaurant authorises the connection in writing and can withdraw it at any time.
What Gratee does not use. Pay rates, wages, SINs, bank details and card numbers are not used in any calculation.
How approval works
Five things we ask of you
What we would like most is a single approval of Gratee as an integration partner, after which any restaurant that uses your system can authorise Gratee itself in a few steps, without separate paperwork each time.
- 01
A route in
Tell us how Gratee is to connect: partner programme, app listing, developer account, or credentials that each restaurant creates. If your process needs a sign-in flow we do not have yet, such as OAuth consent, we will build it.
- 02
A test account
Sandbox or test credentials and a test account, so that we test against your system before any real restaurant is connected.
- 03
Your review of the checklist
For each row choose Keep, Change, Remove or Not applicable, and add anything that is missing. It covers access, agreements, privacy under Canadian law, security, technical steps, and support and offboarding.
- 04
Your terms
Your developer and data terms, and any partner agreement, fee or certification that applies, so that we can read and accept them before we connect.
- 05
Two contacts
A technical contact and a compliance contact on your side. We name ours in the letter.
Our commitments
What you can hold us to
Tested on your system first
Gratee's connectors have so far been tested against Gratee's own simulator and sample replies. We will not connect a real restaurant until we have tested against your sandbox and you have confirmed that you are satisfied.
The restaurant stays in control
The restaurant authorises each connection in writing and can withdraw it at any time, by disconnecting in Gratee or by revoking the credential in your system.
Your name, your rules
We will not use your name or logo until you tell us how you want it used. That is why no provider is named on this page.
Evidence, not promises
When you return the checklist, Gratee completes its part of every item that stays, with evidence, and sends the completed checklist back to you and to the restaurants waiting.
Ready to talk?
Reply to the letter you received from Gratee, or to the person who sent you this page. The letter carries the checklist for your system and the names of our technical and compliance contacts.
We would be glad to arrange a short call to go through the checklist together.
