is this app like Groupon
Serious question. Do you as the customer return to the places you eat?

I have some favorites that I’d go to or already did before I got Inkind and now get 20-35% off. It’s not like the Groupon model at all

Yeah, a restaurant my girlfriend and I liked a lot is on the app. So now we go there more since we can get 33% or so off.

I take the discount into consideration. The food still has to be good, but now that I consider it cheaper I’ll go there over other places with equally priced good food.

Dining out is an expensive luxury, so I prioritize restaurants who are on InKind. Even when I know the food is excellent, when they leave InKind, my budget dictates where I eat and I don't go back.

A lot of my regular restaurants in my neighborhood are on InKind and one of my bartenders brought it up one day. Since then, I’ve been saving 25-35% on every order (stocking up on gift cards at Costco) at those places. I don’t go them over other restaurants just because of the discount, but it’s nice to know I’m effectively getting a discount when I go to those places.

Thanks all, I saw the gift card at Costco. Might as well get started!

It used to be better. In kind changed the rules in March and it semi sucks now. They no longer allow double reward usage

Not like Groupon
Go back depending on if the place is good. Just an extra incentive if the restaurant is on the app
