From http://www.hospitalitymagazine.com.au/article/Bartercard-backs-restaurant-industry/528666.aspx:
Bucking a flat trend among restaurants, barter exchange business, Bartercard, has increased its trade volume in the foodservice industry by more than 20 per cent over a 12 month period.
In 2009, restaurants were average $1.8m (trade dollars) per month, but now average $2.2m per month. And while the cash takings of the 674 member restaurants haven’t been as impressive, they have recorded strong trade volume with Bartercard.
