James Fahy, with his co-founder, Ciara Walsh are the brains behind the most flexible and robust cashless tip payment service on the market.

As the Covid pandemic was at its height, James had noticed that cash was literally disappearing from sight as the whole world embraced digital and mobile based payment systems. As a result, when businesses finally started to reopen, thousands of service and hospitality staff saw their income drastically reduced because no one had any cash to tip. In addition, the customers that added a tip to the bill often did not know if their server got the tip.

James realised that something had to be done and JUSTTIP™ was born in July 2021

Since then, James and Ciara have successfully on boarded over 160 locations across Ireland and built an executive management team brimming with talent and experience. But that was just the start; Justtip is now live in London and Las Vegas.
