Kickfin Review
I will say, honestly it has been an easy transition and much nice process than I thought it would be. I also can appreciate the team's willingness to hear feedback and adjustments sited from users like myself.
PROSI love the addition of the (-1) feature at payment, makes things easier for reconciling. I like the ease of the process and how quickly it works.
CONSWhen making a payment without a tipped group I feel like there could be a more efficient way of entering the team team members into the "sheet" or grid. Even a simple thing of being able to search a team member then hit "enter" key instead of having to click them over could make things flow quicker esp. for a bigger team, like one of my locations has. Also alphabetizing the team members in the drop down list could save some time as well.
Vendor Response

Wish We Had Changed Sooner
The process of setting up the system was very straight forward and simple for multiple locations accross multiple states. We have been paying for armourd car services for years due to the amount of cash we needed to payout servers tips at the end of each shift. The cost of the trucks were enormous each month, not to mention the amount of cash the stores had to keep on hand. The ability to reduce overall cash on-hand and cash handling is a huge win. We made the stores safer, less chance of employee theft, reduced the cost to the company, and added convenience for our team members.
PROSWe love the ease of getting new team members added to the system. We also like how easy it is to train new managers to use the system. The reporting is good as well.
CONSThe limitation of not being able to undo a transaction that was sent to the wrong person by mistake, or that had the wrong amount.
Vendor Response
Because funds are immediately available in your employees' accounts, it's not possible to reverse a transaction but there are a number of ways to address an incorrect payment. Contact support@kickfin.com if you need help!

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

Easy to teach and use
Easy smooth seamless
PROSThe set up process is simple and once you do it its hard to forget how to. Even if you do forget after a long vacation you can use the chat button or call a live person to help you if you forgot something along the way. for example add a new employee to system.
CONSIt doesn't effect me but the employee didn't like the 75 cents getting taken out each time. Our boss pays for credit card charges so after explain that they were chill.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the 5 stars, Maria! Depending on the state where they are located, employers have the option to pass the transaction fee through to the employees but the employer can always choose not to do this. It's easy for us to configure, and a change can be made at any time! (Other digital tipping solutions can cost employees up to $3 or $4 every time they transfer funds to their bank, and it can take several days for the transfer to happen; we've found that many employees don't mind the transaction fee in order to have their funds immediately available to them in their bank accounts!)

The new way to pay!
I absolutely love this product and the ability to have employees at multiple locations is even more useful now too
PROSBeing able to pay my delivery drivers daily from all the credit card tips means fewer trips to the bank to reload the cash drawer with so many people using credit cards to pay these days
CONS2 Step verification is annoying and the fees are a little higher than I would want

The Best for Tipped Employees!
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.
CONSI 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.

Keep your staff paid quickly while limiting cash handling in store
An extremely easy to use, useful tool that keeps our team members happy. The reporting tools help balance accounting and payroll to make sure that tips are claimed and taxed appropriately and that the business is in compliance with laws.
PROSQuickly paying out team members so that funds are available to them without the need for large cash amounts on hand or the need to write checks. Reporting helps balance all payroll and accounting aspects.
CONSHaving the ability to integrate into POS systems and being able to utilize tipshare functions to divide tip pools.

Game Changer
From Sales to onboarding and daily use the experience was/is fluid and repeatable.
PROSWe 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.
CONSEase 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.
Reason 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.

Kick Fin is a Cash Saver
We are very happy that we started using Kick Fin for processing tips.
PROSIn 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.
CONSReconciliation can sometimes take some time.
