-Order $65+ of food. You can order three generous entrees at that cost.
-Show your Bravo e-club coupon from email to take $15 off a $50+ order. Bravo probably has the best e-club of any InKind-eligible restaurant. These coupons happen about once every couple months and will take off $15 even before you let them know you'll pay with InKind app. They also sometimes have coupons for 50% off certain dishes.
-Use InKind app offer for $25 off $50+ order. They also occasionally have a better offer of $25 off $40+ order.
-Finally pay using this Costco-discounted InKind cash.
Edit: so overall you can get dinner for three adults with possible leftovers for $25 total (before tip) even without considering you'd be paying with 35%-discounted InKind cash.

InKind is actually a restaurant financing operation. They provide financing to restauranteurs as an alternative to traditional equity or bank loans.
Simple example: Restaurant needs $100K in financing. InKind gives them $100K cash in direct exchange for $200K in dining credits. InKind then "sells" those dining credits to its members at discounts ranging from 20% (if no extra promotion) to 70% (if the member is an obsessive SlickDeal optimizer). So in this example, InKind still has a positive margin even when you are stacking coupons. The only way InKind loses money is if nobody is interested in the restaurant and/or the restaurant closes. So they are picking and placing bets on restaurants.
When the balance of credits for any particularly restaurant is used up by InKind members, and if the restaurant needs no further financing, the restaurant drops off the InKind app.
But notice: a lot of the restaurants in the network are regional chains or regional restaurant groups in expansion mode. They stay on the platform to continue funding the opening of new locations without having to give up equity or borrow money.
Cool business model.
I had multiple $25-off-$50 "rewards" in my account. This evening I went to a restaurant and clicked to split the check on InKind. I paid for the first $50 with InKind and used a $25 reward off that. When I paid the remaining balance, it would not allow me to use a 2nd reward, saying that I'd reached my reward limit for this visit.
So YMMV. In the future I could trying asking the waiter to split the bill into two distinct checks, and see if that works.
