We are excited to announce that we are now offering a cashless tipping option throughout all three Path Resort properties. Buku Digital Tipping is a convenient, secure, and contactless way for housekeeping service workers to receive tips for their hard work and dedication. Each day, the housekeeping staff will be assigned their rooms to clean and subsequently entered into the Buku system. By using Buku, our housekeeping team members can easily and quickly receive tips from guests with the click of a button. All tips will be securely sent to the employee’s direct bank account, where team members can access the payments. We want to thank our housekeeping departments for their commitment to providing excellent service to our guests.
