Direct Tips and a Deep Dive into Building a Tip Committee  

Webinar Date: September 20, 2026 | 2:00 pm EST

While many operators know about Direct Tips, most struggle with the steps required to meet the requirements. This was highlighted in our last webinar, where we got more questions about Tip Committees than we had time to answer. So we’re back with a session built around the topic operators wanted to spend the most time on: Tip Committees. 

Join Afshin Mousavian, Co-Founder of Actual, and James Rhodes, Taxation Lawyer at Taxation Lawyers, for a focused, practical session on building and governing a Tip Committee the right way, alongside the latest Direct Tips requirements and provincial tipping rules operators need to stay on top of. 

Afshin and James will go deeper than last time on the mechanics: who to put on your committee, how to set governance rules that hold up to a CRA audit, how to structure your gratuity pool, and how to keep it all compliant year over year. Attendees will leave with templates covering committee formation, governance rules, and gratuity pool agreements they can put to use right away. 

Whether you’re joining for the first time or you’re back for round two, this webinar delivers hands on guidance and ready to use resources for restaurants, hotels, bars, golf courses, and other hospitality operators.

This webinar is presented in partnership with:
