Yesterday Kickfin co-CEO Justin Roberts and Ingo CEO Drew Edwards shared what's behind the rapid shift toward automation of tip calculations and payouts. Thanks to Karen Webster and PYMNTS for hosting such a timely conversation! Catch the full fireside chat here:

Love seeing our customers in the news! Congrats to Belle’s Delicatessen & Bar — which just opened its doors this month and already received a fabulous writeup in Eater. And now we're all craving a Reuben...

As Inc. noted in last week's article, Kickfin is one of 2024's Inc. 5000 companies that has experienced major growth in spite of a pandemic, supply chain disruptions, worker shortages, and soaring inflation. In fact, that perfect storm may have actually been a boon to businesses like Kickfin. Why? ➡️ Because our solution has a meaningful impact on employee retention— one of the toughest challenges in the restaurant industry. By giving employees instant access to their earnings, directly to their bank of choice, Kickfin creates a better experience for restaurant staff, while easing the administrative burden for managers. And that makes work (and life) a little easier for everyone. (Thanks for the shoutout, Inc. Magazine! Read the whole article here: https://lnkd.in/dt4aSVcY)

🚨 Another big news day here at Kickfin: We made the 2024 Inc. 5000 list! But wait, there’s more: 🏆 Kickfin ranked 189th overall. 🏆 We’re the fastest-growing restaurant tech company on the list. 🏆 We’re in the 💥 top 5%💥 of all 5000 companies. 🏆 We ranked 24th in the Software category. We’re not ones for acceptance speeches, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout-out the thousands of customers who trust Kickfin to solve some of their biggest operational challenges. We know the way you pay your staff matters. We don’t take that trust lightly. And of course, we might be biased, but we think we’ve got the best team and partners in the biz. Thanks to everyone who has helped build, support and evangelize Kickfin. This has been a big year for our small but mighty company — and there’s a whole lot more to come. 🚀🚀🚀 Inc. Magazine #Inc5000

This week Kickfin got to be a part of the FSC Franchise Co. Conference. Jake Lione and Derek Goldman were pumped to see some of our longest-standing customers all in one place — and to experience this top-notch company culture in action. A few favorite moments and takeaways: 📈 "Better never rests." ⬅️ This year's conference theme is spot-on for this brand, based on our own experience with The Brass Tap and Beef 'O' Brady's. Every franchisee we've worked with is 100% committed to success and continuous improvement. 💡 Loved hearing Chris Elliott talk about the importance of turning brand strengths into sustained success 🏆 And of course, congrats to Aaron Carricato, BoB franchisee of the year — what an honor and an awesome growth story. Excited for next year!
