Pros

“We love that we can create a detailed proposal in TPP, that becomes a working event plan, and that we can have one version for the client with pricing and client appropriate notes and an internal version without pricing and kitchen/internal specific notes.”

Laura H.

Owner

“We are just under 1 year of using the system and we are constantly learning something new within the system to better help our daily operations.”

Jessica V.

Co-Owner

“She answers any questions that you have & checks in with you to see how you're coming along with the program.”

Moesha L.

Event Specialist

Pros

“We work and the next day our tips are in our accounts. ”

Elizabeth L.

WAITRESS

“It has allowed for us to cut down the amount of cash that is needed at the store and also the time it takes to pay out daily tips owed for the day. ”

Judi S.

Accountant

“Now I can use Kickfin which means less bank runs, less cash on hand in the restaurant, and servers don’t have to be carrying around cash and visiting their banks for deposits.”

Brad R.

Owner

Cons

“I don't like that TPP doesn't have the ability to update times or details once transfer to another software.”

Alexis M.

Event Planner

“Subscribed to TPP Pay and they have HIDDEN FEES that you would not believe- Every Day its Another.”

Neal G.

Owner

“Trying to get all the information together needed for this program & learning how to use it at the same time is overwhelming & time consuming. BUT necessary!”

Moesha L.

Event Specialist

Cons

“The only con i can see is that i am accustomed to receiving cash for my nights, so that getting cash right away is sort of a bummer.”

Elizabeth L.

WAITRESS

“Replenishments are done almost daily, so this makes it confusing when you're having to keep a different $$ amount than what is really needed.”

Trevor M.

General Manager

“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.”

Sarah F.

Food Service and Beverage Manager
