The leading gratuity management solution for hospitality. Brands like Marco’s Pizza, Applebee’s, Walk-On’s and more use Kickfin to send cashless tip payments directly to their employees bank accounts, the second their shift ends — 24/7/365. By automating tip distributions, youll eliminate bank runs, cut your risk of theft, and reduce labor costs. Bonus: youll hire more workers by giving employees instant access to their earnings. Implementation is fast and free: Restaurants can get Kickfin up and running overnight — no contracts or setup fees — and save $1,000 a month. Other tip-out solutions (from payroll to pay cards to plain old cash) are costing you and your employees. Kickfin’s technology saves time, money and hassle. Give your team financial freedom, and get immediate ROI, with Kickfin.

Copper Cow Coffee was created to be an in-home barista experience that empowers anyone to fit a moment of coffee bliss into their busy lives. As a Vietnamese-Californian, founder Debbie Wei Mullin always loved rich and creamy Vietnamese coffee, but she also knew that despite being the second largest coffee exporter in the world, Vietnam’s coffee farms had been left behind in the global sustainability push. Above all else, creating better, more equitable opportunities in Vietnam is at the heart of Copper Cow Coffee. We make sure all our products are sourced, grown, and packaged as fairly and sustainably as possible. We sell DTC via coppercowcoffee.com & through nationwide retailers such as Whole Foods, Sprouts, HEB, Walmart, and more. We’ve even been featured on ABC’s Shark Tank! As a team, we’re guided by our four values: Be a good citizen, bring others along, act like owners, and fail forward. Fueled by endless coffee and great benefits, our small but mighty team is on a mission to bring sustainability and a little extra coffee joy to your morning mug.
