Advice Needed - Using Barcodes

Someone recently mentioned that many gym users don't carry cash or credit card with them when they use the gym.  He's probably right and we're concerned about this issue.  We want to make our products as convenient as possible for our customers. 

He suggested we add barcodes to the gym cards.  That's the most convenient way for gym users who don't carry cash or credit card to purchase our products.  Customers don't have to deal with the hassle of carrying an extra card and risk losing it at the gym.  They can purchase say, 10 smoothies, and each scan of the barcode will ring up a purchase. 

Does anyone know how we can best make this work? 

We won't have a Point of Sales system for a few months.  Our cash register, however, does have a built-in scanner.  We think that an effective barcode system will significantly impact our profitability.
