I love kickfin and highly recommend it

Amazing. No complaints.

Pros

The accessibility and how easy it is to use anywhere. It is extremely hast and allows me to lay employees quickly, anytime, anywhere, and within 1 minute.

Cons

Probably just the price. It is a bit pricy but you do get what you pay for so I guess it is worth it.

Time Saver!

We used to spend loads of time counting money and hunting down our employees to give them their cash at the end of their shift. Sometimes they stayed on the clock with nothing else to do but wait for their money. With Kickfin, my employees can leave once their jobs are done and they get their money INSTANTLY. I thought they might be hesitant since people like having physical cash on them, but I have heard no gripping whatsoever.

Cons

Getting used to the retainer and knowing when it will replenish is tricky to balance at first. We have run into situations on lucrative nights where we had to tell our team they won’t get their money for another day or so because we simply didn’t have enough.

Pros

I like how easy it is for the end of the day wrap up for managers and how easy it is for employees to sign up

Great Company and Great Concet

Customer service is quick to respond with remedies to issues. Overall I am impressed with the company. It can be intimidating at first but is very user friendly.

Pros

As the future is obvious to most of us in the restaurant industry, cash is almost a thing of the past. Kickfin eliminates the tough conversations with your employees and allows us as restaurant managers and owners to continue to provide our teams with the daily tip out they earn. One of my biggest concerns going into this was the worry that my team members would be put off by the $1 fee but to the contrary they were excited about not having to leave with a pocket full of cash and even happier not to blow all their earnings across the street after a hard day.

Cons

I don't really find many cons with the system. Having the employee names being in alphabetical order would be much easier when doing the tip out at night but other than that its a great system and concept.

Kickfin is single biggest time saver in our business!

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.
