years in restaurant operations
Built from time spent around store close, district follow-up, tip questions, cash differences and named owners.
Tillzen exists for the late questions restaurant teams know well: the cash was off, the details are fading and finance still needs to know what happened yesterday.
Built from time spent around store close, district follow-up, tip questions, cash differences and named owners.
Shaped by real client work on the problems that slow down multi-location teams: uneven closeouts, missing reasons, unclear owners and late cash review.
Designed around the closeout questions managers, district leaders and finance teams need answered before review becomes a chase.

Founder & CEO
Built Tillzen from the closeout pressure, cash questions and follow-up teams handle every day.
Tillzen came from watching restaurant teams do important money work with tools that split the record apart. A store could finish a busy day, count cash, handle tip questions, explain a cash difference and still leave leaders without a clean record.
The pattern was clear: restaurant teams needed the closeout story to stay intact from shift close to finance review.
Tillzen turns those repeat gaps into one daily record. Managers stay focused on the close. District and finance see what is explained, what is missing, what is still open and who owns the next step.
Tillzen is practical: fewer loose spreadsheets, fewer unclear handoffs and fewer late questions about yesterday's close. The goal is to make the right closeout habits easier to repeat.
Restaurants move fast. Managers are helping guests, staff, tills, safe counts and handoff notes. Tillzen keeps the close structured without making the store fight the system.
Cash differences and tip questions get harder when the reason, proof check, owner and status arrive late. Tillzen keeps counts, explanations, approvals and follow-up in one place.
Restaurants already have a POS, payroll routines, bank processes and local rules. Tillzen adds the closeout record between those tools instead of forcing a replacement project.
Tillzen is for restaurant leaders, controllers, bookkeepers, franchise owners, district managers and finance reviewers who need the same closeout facts before review becomes a chase.
Store managers need a closeout flow that is fast at night and clear enough for finance.
District managers need to see what is missing, disputed, overdue, or outside the limit.
Owners and finance teams need records they can trust when cash, tips and ownership are reviewed later.
Start with a few stores. The pilot report shows whether managers create cleaner records and reviewers spend less time rebuilding yesterday's closeout.
The work is real: 17 live QSR locations, 1,400+ hours saved, $1M+ in annual tip distribution records supported and 18,000+ annualized closeouts.
