KickFin

## What is KickFin?

The only instant tip distribution software. Send tip payments directly to your employees' bank accounts the second their shift ends, 24/7/365. By automating tip distributions, you'll eliminate bank runs, solve for cash shortages, and cut labor costs. Bonus: you'll recruit (and retain) top talent by giving employees instant access to their earnings. Implementation is fast and free: restaurants can get Kickfin up and running overnight - no contracts or setup fees - and save $1,000 a month.

Very Good, We have used Kickfin for the past five years, and have always found it easy to use. Every restaurant or anyone that pays out tips should use this system.

Pros

Great tool to use with tipping out staff. Easily to enter all staffs deposits, and all alphabetical to find.

Cons

No format, just takes longer, Realize more security procedures were put in place. Just that extra step and at times, get distracted and leaves page after so long.

Overall I am very happy about KickFin and knew that everything would be going electronic in the future anyways.

Pros

I like Kickfin because it is really easy to use for waitressing. We work and the next day our tips are in our accounts. So easy.

Cons

The only con i can see is that i am accustomed to receiving cash for my nights, so that getting cash right away is sort of a bummer.

Less cash exchanging hands leads to less theft and improper cash handling.

Pros

The product is very easy to use for a quick deposit to employees accounts. Quickly funded and very user friendly.

Cons

The feature that I wish could be improved is the importation of excel files

Pros

Kickfin streamlined my business with a very well curated digital tipping software.

We have used Kickfin in two of our restaurants and are looking at it for a third in the near future. Kickfin streamlined tip payment, has prompt support, and simple to use.

Pros

Management are able to distribute tips instantly without a complicated dashboard allowing the business to keep less cash on hand and reduce theft. Staff appreciate immediate access to tips instead of taking cash to the bank or waiting on a weekly check. Platform is affordable and easy to setup and roll out.

Cons

Would like to see more direct integrations with modern POS systems like Toast and Revel to allow for direct tip integration.

Reasons for choosing KickFin

Affordability and ease of use
