MindBody is the app if you want to take a look. Good luck and enjoy!

I just finished my first month and immediately got the year pass. Porter is the location I go the most and been to Harvard only a couple of times. Great staff and teachers are great too. App is easy to use and classes are easy to book and cancel. I’m not a fan of LifeAlive so the discount is wasted but so far I’ve enjoyed everything else about Down Under.

Was just talking to the Bow Market guys about this place a couple weeks ago. Sucks that there was no compromise.

Yeah I might ask around some restaurant managers near campus.

Thanks for the offer. I got some insights from my friend tonight and will have a better way to talk to Harvard direct next week.

Thank you! Yeah good call not cross post.

Thank you for this. For sure spoke to my friend about it tonight and he gave me some insights so I have a better understanding and know what to talk to Harvard about when I call.

Thanks for this. Yeah I spoke to my friend who happens to deal with this stuff and he said it has to be pre approved if it is a business meal and they must use the p card or corporate card. But he did say catering is the most common.

Funny after I posted this I was hanging out with a friend who happens to know these things and he def mention that it’s mostly for catering and business meals but they have to get pre-approved and have a P-card or a corporate card. Which he actually had one on hand and showed it to me. So I’m for sure gonna call Harvard and figure out what is the proper way to handle this in the future.

For sure will give Harvard a call to get a better understand and proper way to handle this after reading comments such using P-card and not personal credit card, etc.

My main frustration is that there are tons of small businesses and mom and pop restaurants out there, and they really have no knowledge of this or know how to handle it. Restaurants where it’s just one guy in the kitchen who is also the owner, and how is he suppose to know when someone from a school show up with this and claim that they don’t need to pay the meal tax because it’s a business meal.

I’m not saying Org don’t have millions of things to do but they have people / departments who handles these things. Majority of small restaurants or retails don’t.

They said meeting but come think of it wouldn’t it make more sense for them to pay full and write it off when the org do their taxes? But instead, having the restaurant not charge them and adding the extra leg work for the restaurant to submit paperwork when reporting their end of month sales. Like why making it harder for a restaurant when they have a million other things they need to do at the end of the day? I’m really not following the logic or am I just an idiot and confusing myself here?

Right? I’m gonna be calling Harvard next week and get to the bottom of this. Should I cross post this in r/Harvard or save it for the call?

Just filled it out good luck with your paper
