ways. By improving financial wellness for front line workers,
Grazzy reduces retention and recruiting costs for hotels, bars,
restaurants and salons. The extensible payments platform enables

size.
"This infusion of capital will be a significant boost for Grazzy

The hotel digital tipping market represents a significant
business opportunity within the expansive digital payment and
hospitality technology sectors. Valued at $13.6 billion in 2022, this sector is projected
to skyrocket to $49.9 billion by
2027, boasting a remarkable CAGR of 29.8%. The pandemic has notably
accelerated the trend towards digitalization in hospitality,
including tipping, as the demand for touchless transactions and
reduced cash handling has surged. Many hotels are now integrating
digital tipping solutions to enhance their contactless guest
experience offerings, highlighting a lucrative growth avenue in
this rapidly evolving market.
