What to Tell Your Staff
What is inKind?
inKind is a loyalty app built just for restaurants! Guests can download the app and earn 20% back when they pay with inKind. Think of it as another payment method with additional benefits.
When guests use the inKind app they can discover new restaurants, view menus, manage their balance, pay their bill, and much more; all within inKind.
How to Accept inKind Payment
inKind offers in-app contactless payment to provide a smooth, user-friendly checkout process when an inKind guest dines with you.
Payment Flow
The guest will use the inKind app to pay for their bill.
Once the guest completes their payment, the only action needed by your staff is to verify the guest’s “server confirmation screen” on their phone to confirm the correct bill total was paid. Once verified, the server will close out the check in Square by selecting “Other” under Tenders, type in “inKind” as the optional note, and record the payment.

Server FAQs
Q: The guest wants to split a bill — how does that work?
There are two ways a guest can split a bill when using inKind:
Q: The guest left a tip, but I can’t see it on the POS. (usually a permission issue)
Do not fear. If you can’t see the tip, it will appear on your end of night print out.
Q: How does a guest claim an offer?
Offers are promotional gifts available exclusively through the inKind app to encourage guests to dine at your restaurant.
Guests apply their offer during the payment process in the app—no action is needed on your POS system.
Things to Keep in Mind About Offers:
Q: Does inKind offer physical gift cards?
Yes, we do offer physical gift cards. However, guests cannot redeem credit directly by presenting the physical card. If a guest brings in a physical gift card, kindly direct them to follow the instructions on the back of the card. They will need to download the inKind app, create an account, and claim their gift code. Once claimed, the credit will be instantly reflected in their digital wallet, allowing them to check out through the app.
Q: Need to request a refund?
If a guest needs a refund for a bill charge, tip, or inKind wallet credit, please reach out to your on-site manager. They’ll contact the inKind Partner Support team to process the refund. Refunds cannot be issued through your POS system.
