Supporting the Birmingham service industry just got SO much easier. Now, after you finish a meal or make yourself a drink at home, you can send service industry workers a tip online. Find out more about the service and how to add your info if you work in the Birmingham service industry. 

Servers, bartenders and more who work in Birmingham’s service industry are being hit hard right now. Due to social distancing and being limited to takeout or curbside service, many workers aren’t sure if they’ll have a reliable source of income for months.

We’ve shared multiple ways to support them including curbside pickup and ordering to-go, but now there’s an easier way to give directly to workers without ever leaving your home.

Do you usually throw a couple of dollars in the tip jar at a coffee shop or bar? Send it to them online instead!

We discovered a site developed in Chattanooga that makes tipping workers so easy. Whether you can give big or small, any amount makes a difference and will show our local industry folks how much we appreciate them. 

How it Works

  • Visit the site ServiceIndustry.tips
  • Select Birmingham 
  • Tip the local service worker directly via Venmo or Cash App
  • Refresh the site to randomly generate a new person to support

Currently, you can tip to service industry workers in more than 30 cities across the US, including Birmingham. The service is completely free, and they do not collect any of your data.
