Find Restaurants by Place and Cuisine
inKind turns restaurant discovery into a practical first step rather than a separate search chore. Diners can browse participating venues by current location, enter a restaurant name, or narrow the map by cuisine. This makes the app useful for both spontaneous meals nearby and planned dinners in another neighborhood or city.
Map pins show where participating restaurants cluster, while Search sits alongside Home, Pay, Gifting, and Rewards in the main navigation. Moving from discovery to the next dining task requires only a short change of tab, so users can compare options without losing the payment and wallet tools they may need later. The workflow suits frequent diners, travelers, and groups choosing among eligible venues.
Pay a Restaurant Check from Your Phone
Mobile checkout is the core action once a meal is finished. Users choose the restaurant, tap Pay, enter the check number printed on the bill, and follow the on-screen prompts to close the tab. The flow replaces the usual wait for a physical card to leave the table and return.
Payment and reward tools sit in the same app, which helps keep the restaurant selection, eligible balance, and final check connected. Diners should still confirm that the venue appears in inKind and review the bill details before completing payment, especially when a restaurant has its own tab process. For business dinners or group meals, the phone-based workflow can also make the final step easier to track.
Earn inKind Cash for Future Meals
Eligible restaurant payments can return up to 20% as inKind Cash, giving diners a clear reason to use the app more than once. The earned balance is added to the inKind wallet and can be saved for a later visit instead of being spent immediately, turning a single meal into credit toward another participating restaurant.
The wallet-focused design helps users see rewards as part of a repeat dining cycle: choose a venue, pay in the app, receive eligible cash back, and apply available value on a future check. Actual earning rates, exclusions, and offer terms can vary, so the current promotion details matter before payment. This structure is most useful for diners who regularly visit participating restaurants and want rewards consolidated in one place.
Manage Dining Credit, Gifts, and Perks
Beyond cash back, inKind supports prepaid dining credit through House Accounts linked to a restaurant or hospitality group. Users can keep balances in the app, see where a purchased credit can be redeemed, and use the wallet to cover food and beverage charges at participating locations. Bonus portions and restaurant-group eligibility remain tied to the terms shown for each account.
Gifting and rewards tabs extend the app beyond one person's next meal. Dining credit can be shared with friends or family, while qualifying accounts may unlock perks such as offers, events, tastings, or priority experiences. Keeping these entries beside Search and Pay makes it easier to plan how stored value will be used. This makes inKind especially practical for regulars, gift buyers, and diners who follow several participating restaurant groups.
