With over 30 years of experience in the restaurant industry, we’ve gained a deep understanding of its unique challenges and the needs of the people who make it thrive. GratPay was born out of insights gathered from restaurant owners and staff, many of whom shared a common frustration: the complexities and delays in paying out gratuities to hardworking team members like servers, bartenders, and hosts.
Our mission became clear: to create a platform that would streamline this process, making it simple, fast, and impactful.
About

This immediacy addresses a major pain point in the service sector by helping employees access their hard-earned funds without delay.
Our team has been proudly serving thousands of restaurants in other areas of payment processing, and we’re excited to introduce GratPay© as the next step in helping businesses show real-time appreciation for their staff.
