"Effortless Tip Management with Kickfin"

5/5

What do you like best about Kickfin?

I find Kickfin incredibly intuitive and easy to use, which makes setting it up a breeze. Its online capabilities eliminate cash handling issues, allowing seamless tip distribution even when I'm not in the restaurant. This system ensures that servers always receive their tips fast and reliably, enhancing efficiency and peace of mind. Kickfin's simplicity and effectiveness ensure that it just gets things done, making it a dependable solution for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kickfin?

I didn't like how the tips were limited to $500. If more than $500 was made, then depending on how much needed to be tipped out the procedure, though easy, would have to be repeated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great experience so far"

4/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keely Hungate of Kickfin

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.

"Great for employers!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Kickfin?

Kickfin is user friendly for both management and employees. Super simple to use, and set employees up on. Perfect for everyday use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Kickfin is a great way to disperse tips to our team and keep our team members happy"

5/5

What do you like best about Kickfin?

Overall great platform easy to use. We mainly utilized it for tip dispersement. Our team really liked how quickly the tips were transferred into their accounts. We were able to send out tips daily with this platform. Our staff was able to sign up quickly and easily through a text message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kickfin?

The only downside is it could take a long time to reup funds sometimes but overall no complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keely Hungate of Kickfin

We appreciate your 5-star review, Rachelle. It's great that your team is reaping all the benefits of instant payouts, 24/7/365! 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. (The only gap in retainer funding is on Saturday and Sunday because the banking network does not process these types of transactions on weekends.) As always, if you have questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us at support@kickfin.com.

What do you like best about Kickfin?

I like the speed and transparency of the app, it’s so easy to get paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Kickfin?

I wish that the Kickfin app would show me what everyone in my tip pool was making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Keely Hungate of Kickfin

Thanks for your review, Manuel! We're glad to hear that Kickfin is solving your tip pool issues. We want to make sure you're aware that within Kickfin, managers and admin roles do have complete visibility into the tip pool — that is, the amount all members of the tip pool were paid and how each amount was calculated. An individual employees can see their *own* tip amounts and how those amounts were calculated, including how much they tipped out to other employees. If you have questions about viewing tip calculations or payment history, please let us know at support@kickfin.com.
