A client that owns a restaurant wanted me to develop a webapp for the restaurant with 15-20 pages and table reservation feature. He wanted to pay me with a "free" dinner in the restaurant.

You should ask for a free dinner first, and pay only if you liked it, and if he tells you how he made it.

Just to let you know, I told him I would do it for $350 but he thought it was too much.

Hopefully He meant free for a lifetime or just a Year. Thats should have been fine

Just one dinner

Does dinner include a followup movie and sex?

Even the $350 was generous. Since when is dev work worth two sliders and a handful of crinkle cut fries?

Now that you mentioned, the movie and sex would have been a better deal. But probably it wouldn't work because he was ugly... and a man.

I know the $350 was more than generous but I wanted to help him. I guess he was expecting a $50 web app.

@Morningstar A dinner with min 12 people would be a good deal 😂

I guess he's an asshole like the most restaurant owners. I have never had good experiences with gastronomy and their payment ethics.

Yeah, I didn't do the job. It wasn't worth it, not even for a 20 guest dinner. I even had to pay for the dinner when he invited me over his restaurant to talk about what he wanted

@Morningstar lol

Gordon Ramsey better make my meal for that

"with 15-20 pages" - that is alot of pages for a restaurant website

@stevenliemberg you'll be surprised if I tell you everything

With the 3D printing shit, users must be able to print their meals !!
Now that would be a great feature 😀

@Morningstar $350?!?!? Dude, you are spoiling the market.

@Morningstar I just read the comment where you said you wanted to help him. Sorry. Don't mind my previous comment.

@telephantasm yeah, I knew he couldn't afford that kind of web app. So I decided to give him a very low price. But all of it went out of proportion. He also asked for a logo, business card(I'm still not sure why he wanted that). But yeah, that price wasn't fair for me. I'm glad I didn't do it.
