Restaurants + Frontline Workers
We recognize that all restaurant owners need cash now to pay staff, rent, and other costs during this crisis.
We have partnered with Sharing Hands, a charitable relief organization that launched an initiative with Anheuser-Busch, to support local restaurants and frontline healthcare workers. Join this initiative with 30 restaurants and be a part of our InKind+ network in San Diego, we not only will give you $1,000 upfront in exchange for $1,000 in dining credits, we will help you raise additional money through community financing. We will give a total of $30,000 dining credits as a token of appreciation to frontline healthcare workers who are risking their lives to save others everyday.
All restaurants who join the inKind+ network will have the option to utilize our community financing platform.

Success Story: Zola
Success Story: Zola
Chef & Owner Guillaume Bienaime
Zola is a fine-casual French restaurant in Palo Alto, CA with a check average of $70 per person. Zola came to inKind to obtain capital to complete construction on a bar area it was adding to the restaurant. We launched the campaign on February 25th and the response from the community has been tremendous, having sold $40,500 by March 13th. The owner/operator of Zola, Guilluame, is much loved by the restaurant's regulars. Through the inKind platform, his regulars and new diners can purchase high dollar House Accounts with bonus credits. On average, House Account purchasers are paying $765 per transaction.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, Zola closed its door on March 14th. Zola partnered with inKind to launch another campaign post-COVID-19 in hope of getting the community's support to weather the challenges during this unprecedented time. We raised $20,750 in three days through House Accounts since the launch of the campaign.
