We told members we have a budget amount for snacks and when that's gone, there isn't more until next month. If they want more and/or better snacks, they are encouraged to put some money in the snack fund jar. We have a sticker on the jar with our Square Cash ID if members want to contribute electronically. We also have an iPad kiosk running Square for members to pay for extra days or for guests. Our members asked to have an item added to the Square kiosk for snacks so they can contribute there without having to get the Cash app. Having payment options for everyone helps keep the snack fund stocked.
Being transparent with how much we were spending on snacks helped get members into the habit of contributing for what they take. When they didn't know where the money went, they assumed we were spending way less than we actually were. *Glen Ferguson* Phone: 301-732-5165 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.coworkfrederick.com Address: 122 E Patrick St, Frederick, MD 21701 On Thu, Jul 5, 2018 at 10:45 AM, Wendy <[email protected]> wrote: > I thought about having a self bar, but didn’t know how to handle the cash > flow part of it where I didn’t come out on the loosing end.
