“So imagine the wow factor. Instead of sitting there and watching that person in an analog safe counting cash, Brian and I would sit and watch these people. They would pick up their cellphone and then "cha-ching" they got paid” Justin Roberts, Co-CEO of Kickfin, describes the incredible experience of seeing employees receive their cash tips digitally in real time. Together with his business partner and fellow Co-CEO, Brian Hassan, they have built Kickfin. A digital platform that has transformed how hospitality workers receive their tips, offering them greater security, efficiency, and a sense of financial ownership after each shift. “We get so granular with some of these things. And then we're going to put it right in the employee's bank account. Win, win, win.” Brian Hassan points out." Kickfin’s story is one of innovation, resilience, and genuine care for the industry they serve. By prioritizing the needs of both operators and employees, Brian and Justin have built more than a business, they’ve set a new standard in the hospitality world. Watch this week's Digital Hospitality to learn more about how Kickfin’s innovative software is setting a new standard for tip management across restaurants and bars nationwide.
