Our co-founder Afshin Mousavian just had a fantastic conversation with andrew bell on BNN Bloomberg, where they discussed the evolving landscape of tipping in Canada. A recent survey revealed: • Popular tipping: 77% of Canadians are comfortable tipping at sit-down restaurants, with tipping also common in salons, hotels, taxis, and food delivery—but not as much in retail or fast food. • Takeout tipping isn’t the norm: The majority don’t think tips are necessary for takeout, fast food, grocery pick-up, or retail purchases. • “Tip-flation”: While more businesses are requesting tips, Canadians are holding firm at the 15% standard. At Atlas, we’re not just watching these changes—we’re leading the charge in helping businesses and employees adapt. Our automated tip management system ensures tips go directly to the employees who earn them, with transparency and efficiency. A big thank you to BNN and Andrew for the great discussion. We’re excited to see how this conversation evolves! 📺 Watch the interview here: https://lnkd.in/dFMR_nWu #restaurants #tipping #hospitality #fintech

🌃✨ The Future of Nighttime Economy in 2024: Embracing New Trends' AttisTowns Nighttime Economy Director Leighton De Burca, sharing insights with NDML on the evolving landscape of the nighttime economy in 2024 The pandemic has brought about a seismic shift in how people approach their nights out, reshaping social behaviours. ✅ Here are two key trends in new club-goers’ behaviour defining the nightlife scene: 1️⃣ **Preferring Experience over Alcohol Consumption:**   Younger generations, including Gen Z and the emerging Gen Alpha, are steering away from the traditional emphasis on alcohol in their nighttime escapades. They crave unique and immersive experiences during their nights out, where the focus extends beyond the spirits. 2️⃣ **A Quest for Uniqueness:**   Nighttime enthusiasts now seek environments that resonate with their individuality, emphasizing the importance of a distinctive and memorable experience. 🙌 **One Policy Ask: Refrom Business Rate ** Despite these transformative trends, the current business tax system, rooted in the '80s and '90s, restrains nighttime establishments, compelling them to heavily rely on alcohol sales. It's high time for reform that allows businesses to adapt to the evolving preferences of their clientele. Let's unlock the full potential of the nighttime economy by fostering innovation, embracing uniqueness, and reforming outdated structures! 🌙💼 #NighttimeEconomy #NightlifeTrends #InnovationInNightlife #businessrates #clubbusiness Paul Barnes | Dan Johnson | Hugh Stevenson | Tony Nash | Carlos Kytka | Gary Reeves
