We only succeed when guests come in and spend at your restaurant. There are no fees, interest, or monthly payments. We purchase your future food & beverage sales in bulk upfront and promote your restaurant to our network of diners. No. It’s not a loan or debt. You receive cash upfront in exchange for future food & beverage credit. There is no interest, no personal guarantee, and no fixed monthly payments. inKind works best with restaurants that have a Google rating of 4.0 or above and consistent revenue. You can check your eligibility by submitting your restaurant’s information on our site, and we’ll let you know how many inKind guests you can expect. We’ll look at your numbers, show you what the partnership could return, and there’s no pressure to commit.
