Gratifid develops a digital tipping platform that enables service workers to receive cashless tips through NFC-enabled items such as cards, bracelets, rings, and badges. Customers can tap the item with their phone and pay through Apple Pay or Google Pay without downloading an app.

The company’s product is designed for hospitality, restaurants, airports, and other service environments where cash tipping is declining. Gratifid also aims to give workers a portable profile tied to their tips, identity, and reputation, allowing them to carry their earnings history and service record across employers.
