The Big Beautiful Bill is here—and tucked inside the headlines is a big moment for small and mid-sized restaurants: a new “no federal income tax on tips” rule that could make life a little sweeter for your front-of-house staff.
But what does it actually mean for your business—and how can you use this to your advantage? Let’s break it down.
It’s not a total tax holiday, but it’s close. Under the bill:
This change isn’t just good news for employees—it has ripple effects across your hiring, training, and operations.
When your team takes home more of what they earn, morale goes up. And in a world where high turnover costs you time and money, that’s a big deal.
If you’re struggling to find solid servers or bar staff, this rule gives you an edge. Telling potential hires they can pocket more tip income (legally!) is a competitive perk.
The tax relief shows up at the end of the year, but if you’re already using AccuPOS to track tips by employee and shift, you’re one step ahead. Easy reports = less friction.
