About Us

Building a Movement for Pricing Transparency

We represent a growing community of consumers who believe in clear, honest pricing. Our mission isn't to attack businesses or their owners—it's to amplify the voices of countless customers who want transparency in how they're charged for goods and services.

The Problem We're Addressingđź”—

Across the country, customers increasingly face:

  • • Unexpected tip screens at checkout counters
  • • Service charges that weren't disclosed upfront
  • • Pressure to tip in situations where it wasn't traditionally expected
  • • Menu prices that don't reflect the actual cost of your purchase
  • • Confusion about when, how much, and whom to tip

You're not alone in feeling frustrated by these experiences.

Our platform gives you a way to document these encounters and connect with others who share your concerns.

Our Community-Driven Approachđź”—

This platform empowers customers to:

Document Real Experiences

Share detailed reviews of establishments' tipping policies and payment practices, helping others know what to expect.

Find Transparent Businesses

Discover restaurants, cafes, and service providers that practice upfront, honest pricing without hidden fees or tip pressure.

Amplify Customer Voices

Show business owners the scale of customer desire for pricing clarity through collective feedback and reviews.

Create Positive Change

Support establishments that already practice transparent pricing while encouraging others to adopt clearer policies.

What We Stand Forđź”—

Pricing Honesty

If a menu shows $15 for a meal, customers should pay $15 plus applicable taxes—not face additional screens, fees, or pressure that weren't disclosed upfront.

Worker Dignity

We support fair wages for service workers that don't depend on customers navigating confusing tip scenarios or feeling pressured into additional payments.

Customer Choice

Tipping should remain a voluntary expression of appreciation for exceptional service, not a mandatory fee disguised as a gratuity.

Business Clarity

Establishments benefit when customers know exactly what they'll pay, leading to better experiences and genuine customer loyalty.

A Message to Business Ownersđź”—

We recognize that many businesses are navigating economic challenges and trying to find sustainable ways to compensate their staff fairly. We're not here to vilify your efforts.

Instead, we're here to show you that transparency builds trust. Customers are increasingly willing to pay higher menu prices for honest, upfront pricing rather than deal with surprise charges and awkward payment situations.

The businesses that earn the highest ratings on our platform are those that:

  • • Display clear, all-inclusive pricing
  • • Pay fair wages without shifting compensation uncertainty to customers
  • • Eliminate confusing payment processes
  • • Respect customer autonomy in gratuity decisions

Join the Movementđź”—

Whether you're a frustrated customer tired of payment surprises or a business owner committed to transparent practices, your voice matters. Together, we can create a marketplace where honest pricing is the standard, not the exception.

Help us build a community where everyone knows what they're paying and why.
