Convenient Tip Management with Instant Transfers **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alecia M. | Bartender, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2026 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** I like Kickfin because it's easy to sign up and log in using face recognition. It's really convenient to get my tips the same day after work, which helps me cover immediate expenses like buying gas. I find it easy to maneuver, and everything is straightforward, from putting in my bank information to receiving pay daily. It's also incredibly valuable as it allows me to access my money easily, with funds going straight to my bank account every day. The overall experience with Kickfin is easy, making it convenient to check my earnings at the end of my shift. It's a big change from waiting a week for cash tips, which sometimes took longer. The initial setup was simple after receiving a link from my team, and everything else was pretty easy after signing up. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** I wish Kickfin had an app that I could download straight to my phone, so I wouldn't have to go through the Safari browser. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin lets me access my tips the same day I earn them, which is super convenient for filling financial gaps like gas money. It's easy to sign up and use, with face recognition and quick bank transfers. **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Thanks Alecia! Walking out after a shift with gas money already in your account beats waiting a week (or longer) for cash tips. Glad setup was easy once your team sent the link. Heard on wanting an app instead of going through Safari. We've passed that along to the team. The Kickfin Team ### 2. Useful Income Tracking, Easy Exports, and Real-Time Payment Notifications **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** This review contains authentic analysis and has been reviewed by our team **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** The ability to quantify income by specified date ranges is very useful. Exporting is an added benefit, so should I need to export anything for any reason it is easy to do. I like that I get a notification every time I get a payment. From an admin perspective, it is easy to select the employees and balance payments because it gives you a grand total as well. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** The only thing that I don't like is that it requires MFA every time for the employee side. Even if I accidentally close out the window and immediately open back up. As an employee, it is a reporting mechanism only so I don't see the need for MFA. However, as a site admin you have access to funds, so I expect and appreciate MFA there. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Payment timing - I get my tips same day so I don't have to wait 1+ weeks for it to be on my check. In prior serving jobs, I had to wait to get my credit card tips. This allows me to make extra payments to bills or have money readily available in case of an emergency. **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Really appreciate this one. Using same-day tips to knock out an extra bill payment or keep an emergency cushion is a big deal, and it's why we do what we do. Fair point on MFA for employee logins. We lean hard on security since there's money involved, but we've shared your feedback on the re-login experience with our product team. The Kickfin Team ### 3. Fast Payouts and User-Friendly Experience with Kickfin **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robbie H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account added to their profile **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** I love how Kickfin allows employees to get their money quickly, and it tracks everything for payroll, making it super easy at the end of every pay period. It's super user friendly, easy to go back and track, and it keeps great records. I like that we're able to pay out our tipped employees nightly and very quickly, which helps with retention. The price point and the interface are also big positives for me. I really like that Kickfin allows the employee to pay a dollar for the immediate payout. The setup was super easy; we were live in a matter of minutes. Even when our staff size changes, Kickfin remains super easy to use. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** Some people struggle because the app isn't available for one of the operating systems. I know that one set of employees are frustrated because I believe it only works on Android and not on Apple, or vice versa. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Kickfin to allow our tipped employees to get their money quickly and make payroll tracking easy. We can pay out all employees in ninety seconds, which helps with retention. It's user-friendly, efficient, and keeps great records for payroll and accounting purposes. **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Robbie, thank you! Paying out your whole team in ninety seconds and being live in minutes is exactly the experience we're going for. It's great to hear it's helping with retention too. Sorry some of your staff are running into device trouble. If you send their details to our support team, we'll help get them sorted. The Kickfin Team ### 4.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** September 01, 2026 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** I really like how easy and convenient it is to use Kickfin for paying employees after their shifts are done. I also find it very helpful that I don't have to deal with cash. Another feature I appreciate is being able to easily cross from two different locations in one simple step. The initial setup was super simple, easy, and very fast. The money gets sent to employees instantaneously, which is very convenient for us. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** The main downside for me is that Kickfin doesn't have an app. It would be much easier to use if it had one. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin prevents register shortages and cash flow issues. I like how easy and convenient it is to pay employees after shifts, avoiding cash hassles. It's simple to use, sending money instantly. **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Thanks Moises!

I also really appreciate being able to fully customize how we share tips, and that I can send payments outside of the “calculated” amounts whenever I need to. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** I wish I could drop the retainer after using it for so long. Having to raise it for holidays and events and then lower it again gets tedious. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like that they’ve changed it so shared jobs no longer need separate shifts. It’s something that makes my life easier. **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Thanks Hannah! Love that the custom tip-share rules and the ability to send extra payments are working for you, and that the shared-jobs change made life easier. Totally get that bumping your balance up and down around holidays and events gets old. We'll have someone from our team reach out to walk through your funding setup with you. The Kickfin Team ### 6.

And the 75¢ charge each day **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** I don’t have to wait until my next check for tips and they are ready for me by the end of day **Official Response from Michael Damelio:** > Thanks Courtney! Having your tips ready by the end of the day instead of waiting on your next check is exactly what we want for you, so it's great to hear that's how it's working. Totally hear you on the App Store and the daily fee. We've passed both along to our team, and if you want to dig into either one, our support team is happy to help. The Kickfin Team ### 7.

What I like most about Kickfin is the speed at which it operates, which is definitely its strongest asset. The platform is stable, and I rarely have any issues with the app. The ability to pay everyone instantly or like a regular payroll process all in one place simplifies my work. I also appreciate the direct deposit and debit card feature, which is great for employees who don't have bank accounts, as it gives them the option to get a hard check printed or use a Kickfin debit card to purchase things online or at stores, simplifying their life. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** Nothing **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin allows me to pay everyone instantly, making payroll easier with everything in one place.

Kickfin's simplicity and effectiveness ensure that it just gets things done, making it a dependable solution for my needs. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** I didn't like how the tips were limited to $500.

Great experience so far **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amy P. | Bookkeeper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Software is very easy to navigate, and the customer support has been fantastic so far! They are very quick to respond to any questions, or help with any adjustments needed. I really like that you can set it up to reflect data for each pay period individually. I also like that each section is broken out nicely by tab, making it easy and quick to access. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** It would be nice if you could assign dual roles to individuals. We have some employees who receive tips, but are also responsible for paying out tips to others, so they have to set up two different profiles, one as an employee and one as a manager. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to pay our servers out nightly and that is a huge employment incentive in a competitive industry **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thank you for leaving a review, Amy! We're thrilled you've found Kickfin so easy to use. We want to note that Kickfin does have permissions that allow a user to issue and receive payments — and we have features to prevent any security issues when those permissions are in place. Please reach out to support@kickfin.com to learn how it works.

Super simple to use, and set employees up on. Perfect for everyday use. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** The only thing with Kickfin is that a user with admin functions can pay themselves. We have never had an issue, but it could be an issue if someone untrustworthy has that kind of access. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin has helped us decrease the amount of money we have to keep on hand, as we are now able to just simply pay our staff's tips electronically. We can also easily go in and double check payments if there is ever a question about tips. ### 15.

Regarding your note on the retainer: We currently replenish funds every Monday through Friday, and the funds are available by approximately 1:30pm PST each day.

KickFin is great! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike L. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Like many restaurants, the majority of the tips made to our servers were a credit card tip. We had to run to the bank almost every day to get enough cash out to pay out our servers. We started KickFin and we only go to the bank 2-3 times per month and only for change. Our staff was initially skeptical but they ended up loving it. One server told me that KickFin depositing money directly into her account has helped her manage her personal finances so much better. Now she always has enough money in her account to pay her bills. Servers feel safer as well not having to walk out with large amounts of cash. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** The only downside is navigating federal or bank holidays and the fee. However, with enough planning and organization, those have not been real issues. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Paying our staff their tips at the end of the night was a real hassle. KickFin has fixed that. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Mike, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! We're seeing the same thing: instant, cashless tip-outs aren't just a convenience; they help improve the financial wellbeing and security of hardworking hospitality employees. Regarding your note on bank holidays, good news -- there are improvements in progress that will speed up the replenishment process. Be on the lookout for an announcement when we roll out those updates later this summer/early fall! ### 29. Review from an accountant who works with multiple clients that use Kickfin **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erik S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** My favorite part about Kickfin would be the reporting functions - especially the "Business Date" feature. With other software and with earlier Kickfin versions, we spent a lot of time simply assigning tips to the correct dates and summing up each day. Now, Kickfin does all that sorting for us - we just plug your reports into a spreadsheet, and we have our answers. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** My least favorite part about Kickfin is easily the date ranges used to pull each report. Kickfin's website tends to crash when pulling more than 800 rows of data, I believe. For us, that's about a month and a half of data. Trying to do any large scale analysis is a pain simply because of how long it takes to pull all the reports. Also, sometimes the date range display glitches, and won't allow you to scroll forward to the current month - you just have to refresh. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin solves the problem of manually adding up each day's tips and attempting to tie them back to our internal reporting. We work much faster now; it used to be that we had to interpret the reports from both the tip distributers and our client's own tips tracking system, then compare the two of them. Nowadays, we know for a fact that the Kickfin reports are accurate - we just have to check your reports against our own to see what issues our clients' reports might have. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thanks for your feedback, Erik! We're glad our reporting is making life easier for you and your team. (We recently made enhancements to our reporting that addressed the issue you're referencing with the exports -- but if you're still continuing to experiencing the crashing that you referenced, please email us at support@kickfin.com so that we can resolve the issue together!) ### 30. Want your staff to be Safe and lower your cash on hand? **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: G2 invite on behalf of seller:** Invitation from G2 on behalf of a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023 At G2, we prefer fresh reviews and we like to follow up with reviewers. They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Being able to pay your staff out immediately and have it hit their bank accounts within 30 seconds to 3 minutes, you can't go wrong. Organized reports of daily payouts. Keeping less petty cash on hand so there is less to steal or less for bad people to grab. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** Mistakes happen. Fat fingers, being tired and not paying attention. Please do a negative amount and return the money if there are mistakes. It would undoubtedly make it cleaner if that could happen. That would be my biggest negative. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to keep much less cash on hand, which is excellent for several reasons. Less money can come up missing. Less cash for some would-be robber to take. Less opportunity for theft overall. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thanks Patrick! We agree -- employees love getting their tips sent straight to their bank accounts and skipping the hassle of cash is a big win. We also understand how payment mistakes you referenced can cause issues. While there are some limitations related to banking regulations that govern the type of transactions we use, we're taking this feedback into consideration and evaluation if there is a way to address this concern! ### 31.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Kickfin let's me easily pay employees , without having to have cash on hand for the tips. Easy to keep record of payments without having to keep a log. Works perfect! **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** There's not much to not like. It could be a little easier to dismiss employees , which can be time consuming with the current system. Other than that it's pretty simple. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kickfin gives more opportunity to not go to the bank. I like not having to go to the bank in a weekly basis. It also helps me keep record of tip distribution, in case a ream member needs help with it. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thanks for your rave review, Brad! P.S.: We're constantly looking for ways to make Kickfin even easier to use, and we've passed your feedback regarding dismissing employees to our product team! ### 32.

This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Kickfin?** The best part about Kickfin is how easy it is to use. The interface is highly user-friendly. Our tipped team members love they don't have to worry about getting cash to the bank! **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** If there was one thing I could do to improve Kickfin, it would be to have daily/weekly reports sent out so payments can be validated and reconciled with POS reports. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** The main problem Kickfin solved for us was the amount of cash we have to keep in the restaurant. It also eliminated the need to replenishing our petty cash every week. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thanks for your feedback, Phillip! Not having to hassle with cash — or make trips to the bank! — is one of the things employees love most about Kickfin. Regarding your note on reporting: We're currently planning to make significant updates to our reporting later this year. Your suggestion has been noted and will be taken into consideration.

They may not have updated their review text, but have updated their review. **What do you like best about Kickfin?** Employees love it because they don't need to wait for their CC tips to go on their checks or walk out with wads of cash each shift. Managers love it because you don't need as much cash on hand in the safe. Accounting loves it because it's easier to track than cash and you see what's paid out each night. Been using Kickfin for years and would never do it any other way at this point. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** Big weekends and bank holidays can be frustrating with your retainer- just takes some careful planning (like raising your retainer before holidays) to ensure there's always enough balance to tip out. **Recommendations to others considering Kickfin:** Do it, your life will be better. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlines credit card tip outs and accounting **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > We're thrilled Kickfin has worked so well for your team! We hear you on the retainer — while we send out regular reminders ahead of holidays to help you plan, we're currently working on improvements that will speed up the replenishment process. Those will be available the coming months, so be on the lookout for the announcement once they're live! ### 34.

The only recommendation I can make is having enough funds in the account for long holiday weekends. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to have to pay tips in large amounts daily and Kickfin eliminated that by paying it electronically. This saved us many trips to the bank to replenish petty cash on hand. It also helps eliminate cash handling errors. **Official Response from Keely Hungate:** > Thanks for taking the time to review Kickfin, Michael! We're working on improvements that will speed up the replenishment process, and we should have them available in the coming months — be on the lookout for an announcement from our Customer Success team! ### 35.

They seem to appreciate that as well, greatly. **What do you dislike about Kickfin?** I've only had one hiccup with Kickfin, and because the payment didn't go through immediately, the staff ended up double paid. **What problems is Kickfin solving and how is that benefiting you?** I know plenty of people in this industry that won't accept a job if they don't receive their tips nightly. Being able to pay people nightly is amazing since more and more companies are putting all tips on paychecks these days. ### 37.
