From someone who once was in the restaurant business long before InKind existed-
InKind’s financial logic can make sense at spreadsheet level and look attractive in a capital‑scarce environment, but the UX and commercial rules create a volatile surface area that erodes guest trust in the venues that participate in the rapacious nature of the terms.
Stay away.
Anyone at InKind wanna argue the matter?
I was looking into the 40% bonus on inKind cash purchases offer that ends tonight. The cheapest option I see is ~$300. There aren’t many restaurants in my area so I don’t really want to buy that much and I don’t see an option to choose a set amount. Am I only limited to the preset options?
and no, I don't work there (but I wish I did!)
If you have a $25 off $75, as an example, do you need to spend $75 PRE-TAX or $75 POST-TAX?
Anyone know? The terms are not clear. Thanks.
Been a heavy user and proponent of Inkind for over 5 years and have enjoyed ~$4k in savings on >300 transactions. Very curious about the financial health and long term viability of the company and its business model. Would love to see their balance sheet and income statements. Every time I consider a large credit purchase (usually 2 or 3 times a year) I wonder if I would loose money should they go belly up. Curious to know what happens when they dole out cash to a restaurant that fails. I’ve seen around 4 of those in my area.
Anyone with any real insight into their profitability, top and bottom lines?
Serious question. Do you as the customer return to the places you eat?
