Kickfin

Who's in Vegas this week for Bar & Restaurant Expo? Say hi to Justin Roberts and Derek Goldman at Booth #626 and learn all about automated tip management — including our latest POS integrations that you can activate to calculate tips in less than a minute. ?????? We'll be here till Wednesday! #BRE2025

When we say Kickfin gives you visibility into tip payout history and streamlines reporting, you might be asking... what does that *actually* mean? (And why do I *really* need it?) Here's a quick peek inside the platform to see the level of detail you'll get with our digital "paper trail" — down to the minute (and the penny).

Are you tangled up in tip pools? Hidden Ships Distillery integrated Kickfin with their POS and *immediately* reaped the benefits of faster, safer, more transparent tip distribution. Check out their success story to see how automated tip pooling made life easier for the whole team >>> Andrew Szwejbka & Square

It’s hip to be [integrated with] Square! If your team is using Square POS, you can activate the Kickfin integration to completely automate tip pool calculations. What does that mean for you? ? No more spreadsheet math ?? Complete visibility into payout history ? A whole lotta time saved for your managers Find us on the Square marketplace, or get in touch with us today for a personalized walkthrough of the integration! --> kickfin.com/demo

We've said it before and we'll say it again: You should be able to automate your tip-out policy WITHOUT having to overhaul it. Tip pools can get messy — trust us, we've seen them all! But if your policy works for you...well, you shouldn't be required to totally rework it just so you can digitize it. Unfortunately, that happens waaay too often when operators use add-on tip management features within their existing tech stack. Hear Justin Roberts explain why thousands of operators choose Kickfin's best-in-class tip management software — which can handle even the unruliest of tip policies. (Big thanks to Shawn P. Walchef, the team at Cali BBQ Media and all of the folks who joined the Rising Tides livestream last week to talk tip management!)

Join us today at 1p ET / 10a PT! Brian Hassan and Justin Roberts will be talking TIP MANAGEMENT on the Rising Tides livestream, alongside other industry pros and operators. Hosted by our friend Shawn P. Walchef at Cali BBQ Media, today's roundtable discussion will feature topics like modern tipping culture, tip distribution best practices, using tech to set your team up for success, and a whole lot more. Want to be a part of the conversation? Leave comments and questions in the livestream so we can answer in real time. Hope to see you there!

?? Kickfin now integrates with RPOWER POS! ?? That means if your restaurant, bar or nightclub is an RPOWER user, you can activate the Kickfin integration to auto-calculate tip pools or shares and send instant, cashless payouts to your employees' bank of choice. (No spreadsheets, no cash, no paycards.) A huge shout-out to the folks at RPOWER — a trusted name in hospitality and a great partner to Kickfin — plus a special thanks to one of our oldest customers, Riot Hospitality Group. J Goldin and his team were the first to beta the integration and provided valuable, on-the-ground feedback to ensure it meets the needs of their fast-paced operations. (Their feedback: It automates even the most complex tip pools, while still being insanely easy to use.) We're excited to get this into the hands of RPOWER's customers to reap the many benefits of automated tip distribution. ??

You'd think large party = large tip, right? Well, restaurant pros know that's not always the case. But never fear: we've got a handy how-to guide that your tipped employees can use to ensure they earn a fair reward for their extra-hard work.

Kickfin kicked off 2025 alongside our partners at Toast in beautiful (very chilly) Boston! As a sponsor of Toast's annual Sales Kick Off, we got to meet hundreds of Toast friends face-to-face *and* spread the word about the Kickfin-Toast integration — which gives operators the power to automate tip pooling and payouts in just a few clicks. Thank you to Toast for the opportunity and, of course, for your top-notch hospitality. Here's to another year of helping restaurants thrive! cc: Nick Danforth, Johanna Fiedler, Kelly Sennatt Esten, Matt Welch, Jessica Tokko

Thank you for the shout-out, J Goldin! What a pleasure it's been collaborating with the team at Riot Hospitality Group. Our customers' needs and big ideas are the driving force behind the work we do. We're grateful for your longstanding partnership as we continue to innovate for the benefit of the thousands of operators we serve. ??
