About KickFin

Kickfin is a tip distribution solution that helps restaurants, bars, clubs, nightclub venues, hotels and entertainment centers directly deposit tips into employees’ bank accounts. It enables managers to create groups, manage employee profiles and approve tip amounts for staff members.

The application allows supervisors to maintain payment records, conduct cost analysis, generate reports and ensure data security in compliance with PCI regulations. It offers a variety of features including payment monitoring, access control, data storage management, notifications, an employee portal and more. Additionally, Kickfin helps organizations monitor return on investments (ROIs) and capture and store employee details in a centralized repository.

Kickfin comes with an application programming interface (API), which lets businesses integrate the system with several third-party payment management platforms. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via phone, email and other online measures.

Kickfin works for both restaurants and employees

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

Pros:

Once employees have been entered into the system, Kickfin is super easy to use. No issues with paying employees.

Cons:

KickFin has a strange recharge system. Sometimes it takes days for money to hit the account. We have been noticing the lag in recharge happening more often. It's frustrating when the KickFin account doesn't have enough money but they've already taken the money from your business account. For someone who uses KickFin and also does staff payroll, I wish there was an easier way to pull employee wages. The reports show the day to day reporting, rather than a grand total. KickFin pulls it's own pay periods rather than me allowing to choose my dates. I have to go through an add each employees tips for each day of the pay period. Not a huge issue but a little annoying.

Pros:

We don’t have to keep as much operating cash on hand in the restaurant.Payments to employee in near real time is a game changer for employee buy in.I have referred Kickfin to a similar establishment in a neighboring county.

Cons:

Ease of search optionsThe online experience is website based and does not adjust to smaller screen display on computer, loose edit buttons outside the fold.No app. But bookmarking website to Home Screen on phone is a decent work around.

Reasons for choosing KickFin

Many cost options to pass fees to employee to be able to customize plan to our business model and staff buy in.

Pros:

KickFin is very easy to use and gives me everything I need for posting the tips that have been paid out. It has allowed for us to cut down the amount of cash that is needed at the store and also the time it takes to pay out daily tips owed for the day.

Cons:

Sometimes it takes a while to load which at the end of a long day leads to some frustration at the store.

Pros:

Every now and then you come across a company that just does everything right! From our initial sales call to on-boarding and use of the product. It was an easy, intuitive, and hugely time saving process to join kickfin. I highly recommend the service to any industry that needs to pay out tips daily and no longer wants to deal having to maintain a large cash balance on property. I researched several options on the market before going with kickfin, the biggest selling point was the ability to instantly deposit directly to employees bank accounts without having to deal with proprietary and cumbersome pay cards like many other services.

Cons:

A push notification or daily summary email to account admins would be nice to review what floor managers paid out the night before without having to log into the service to review payouts.

Kick Fin is a Cash Saver

We are very happy that we started using Kick Fin for processing tips.

Functionality

Pros:

In the restaurant industry credit cards have become the predominate method of payment. The tips that are reported on the credit cards most often exceed the cash receipts causing our cash to fall negative. Using Kick Fin allows us to track our cash with out running to the bank and it keeps the employees happy because they are still getting paid every night.

Cons:

Reconciliation can sometimes take some time.

Pros:

As a restaurant manager, I love the ease of use for me and my staff and the timeliness that I can pay them every night. Also I love that I don’t have to keep a bunch of cash on hand or send my staff home with a bunch of cash.

Cons:

I wish I didn’t have to manually put in the .75 processing fee, I wish it would just be put in by itself on the system somehow.
