Honor Tab... Have you used it?

HI,

 

I am looking for feedback on honor tab.

 

Have you used it?

 

Do you like it?

 

Is it more of a headache then useful?

 

Let me know what you think.

 

Thanks

 

Stephani

I have not used it. But it seems like more work than I'm ready for. I provided anice homemade (yogurt, baked goods and graonla) juice and fruit breakfast. That's about as much work as I want to do right now. It does seem like some guests would apprciate it, but not sure how many would. I have a very small fridge and need to keep some room in there for when guests do bring their own food. 

So not for me right now... would love to hear if anyone has tried it.

I signed up for information, but was kind of skeptical about whether my guests would use it, and ultimately think they might prefer to just pay me directly, or use paypal?  I could make my own menu for my mini refrigerator, and provide information for them to pay my paypal account, for example.  Honor Tab was going to charge a 9% transaction fee to me, and a 9% transaction fee to the guest (from my understanding).  

 

So say I bought some sodas at costco that worked out .25 cents a can on my monthly shopping trip there.  I bring them home, and mark up the price so that I can make a profit - say I mark them up to $1.  Well, on my $1 price, Honor Tab is essentially going to charge my guest $1.10, and take 10 cents from me.  Honor tab isn't providing any special service to me except for some automatically generated marketing stuff that I am going to have to print.  Unlike Airbnb they don't guarantee for instance that they would replace stolen items or something like that.  So I guess I would just be inclined to make my own version of it?  I would be charged ~3% by paypal, but the guest wouldn't get an extra charge at all.  

 

So those are my thoughts.   

Also, currently buggy - I set up account maybe couple days ago on their website, now that option is no longer available.  I downloaded their app, and that would not allow me to sign in or register.  I don't want to have to be an IT Helpdesk to my guests, so if using this service involves asking my customers to use an unstable platform, meh, not that into it.  But the concept is really cool and if they get it worked out then maybe it would be worth it.
