“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. ”
JS

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.”
BR

Brad R.

Owner

Cons

“I don’t like that the cutoff time for next day funding for credit cards is at 9:00PM because we close our restaurant at 9:30PM.”
MJ

Mohamed J.

Owner

“I also don't like the fact that I can't separate when I do reports comparing Mondays through the year versus like say Sundays through the year I want to be able to compare days”

“It is a serious pain though whenever we upgrade. ”
JT

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