Why barter pays
Sell at full price. Spend at full value.
When a member buys from you, they pay your normal price in credits. Your rent, your staff and your equipment were already paid for, so the sale costs you only the extra it takes to serve one more customer. BarterMax takes no cut.
Then you spend those credits at full value with any member, on things you would otherwise pay cash for.
Barter income is taxable like cash income. Read barter and taxes in the US
One empty Tuesday table
Sold to a member instead of left empty
1. You earn your full price
A member books the table for a client dinner and pays your menu price, in credits.
2. It costs you only the food
The room, the staff and the lights were already paid for, and the table would have sat empty.
3. You spend at full value
The credits buy new menus from a member print shop, so the cash you would have spent stays in the business.
