Abstract
A contactless tipping system for dancers at an adult entertainment establishment allows proper social distancing between patrons and entertainers. A patron opens an app and enters a tip amount into the app and sends this information to the establishment's computer which identifies the sender, the recipient, and the amount of the tip, either audibly or visually or both and causes a currency cannon to shoot currency, real or imitation, onto the stage. The system allows the patron to select additional services, such as VIP room time, with a selected dancer or to order refreshments.
