$5300 in $100s

A Chicago-based Basecamp breakfast event tests a no-show deterrent: attendees pay $100 to register, then get a crisp $100 bill back at the door if they actually show up. Skip it and you forfeit the deposit. The idea mirrors restaurant reservation deposits, adapted for a free event with no ticket price to apply the deposit toward. The author plans to compare the resulting no-show rate against a prior event that had no such deposit system.
