Background and Problem:
I travel around a lot. In the bigger cities you see buskers, street performers, and the like. Occasionally, I come across someone I'd like to tip, but I tend to not keep cash on me.
I think to myself, I'm sure there's other people who occasionally fall into situation. I personally don't like to keep cash on me unless it's absolutely necessary (but that's beside the point).
Solution:
The solution lies with the street performer. What if I created an website/ app with a membership feature:
1.) Sign up and you get a QR code to print out
2.) The QR code is connected to a personal payment function like Square or PayPal
3.) All the busker has to do is print out the QR code and set it up
4.) To tip the performer all one would need to do is scan the QR code with a smart phone
5.) The scan would send the tipper three options: 1$, 5$ or tip your own amount
6.) Boom the busker is paid
7.) We take a small cut (possibly)
Additional Features:
Paid Monthly membership with features of convenience:
1.) a customized QR code sign that weather proof
2.) Ad free
3.) Social media shareable
4.) Networking with other Membership users for colaboration
Possible Problems:
1.) Will people take the time to scan a QR code?
2.) Is there a market? There's always street performers, and there's always Smart phone users. Not sure how to gaige if there's a "market" for this though.
3.) I think the only part I'd have to rely on an outside source is for the Paid membership weather proof sign creation and fulfillment.
Thoughts? I put this on the INSIDERS because of the detail in which I describe this venture.
