Is there a way for TIPS/TiPS technology to make it to the growing Restaurants market alongside Bitcoin?
right now adoption of bitcoin into the real world is starting to spread and soon will start to explode, I'm especially interested in the market of Restaurants (if you follow Let's Talk Bitcoin
) more and more restaurants are starting to accept bitcoin, but right now all they can do is pay the entire bill to the restaurant directly without 'tipping' the waiters. There is no solution for that right now. So I'm wondering whether it's possible to find a way to integrate TIPS with the wallets that are being used for the payment, so when somebody makes a payment in the restaurant they can add a percentage or a chosen amount in dollars as a tip for the waiter, and when they make the payment the tip goes to the waiter.
a solution I can imagine is that, the software of the restaurant that generates the QR code for each bill, will include the corresponding TiPS address of the waiter alongside the BTC address of the restaurant and the customer will have in his wallet a tipping option that will add that amount of tips and send them to the tips address included in the QR code. What do you think? alternatively, the waiter will have their TIPS address on a separate QR with them all the time and the customer makes a separate payment with the TIPS wallet. either way, if we can find a solution and get TIPS to this market it would be the start of something huge

for some reason you are making me think of prepaid Tips cards like a Netspend Prepaid Tips card or Greendot Tips card. Not sure if that's a way to go to maybe with a printed Qr code on the front for people with phones to scan and tip directly. and the swipe on the back to unload tips at the end if the shift from the restaurants POS system. iono just throwing stuff out there
