“We’ve done cash tips. We’ve done tips on payroll. We’ve tried prepaid cards. None of those keep you competitive with other employers. Kickfin does.”

“Our employees get a notification that they've been paid before they even leave the restaurant.

When it comes to the IRS and tip reporting, using Kickfin instead of cash really doesn’t change anything for you. Here’s why…
Even if your manager pays out credit tips in cash, it doesn’t mean those tips are unreported. If your restaurant is using a POS system where you input your credit card tips after each table closes out, POS data is already being used to report your income, and the IRS is taxing you on it — which is why you might receive $0 paychecks.
Just like before, if a customer leaves a cash tip, it’s on the employee to claim it. But credit card tips have been (and always will be) reported to the IRS.
Kickfin takes the time (and headache, and risk) out of tip management. At the end of the shift, simply add employees who need to be tipped out. Enter the total tip amount, then distribute, confirm —and you’re done!
