    Official Restaurant.com Coupon/Discount Thread

    in Online Hot Deals

    Posted

    I used one last night. I called to ask if they would honor it for pickup. The girl sounded familiar with them and said "sure, just bring it in and I will apply it". I go to pick it up and the manager is POed!!!. Yelling at the poor little girls working the front counter that its only for dine in. I felt bad for them, he did honor it but the total automatically added the 18% gratuity, since it was supposed to be for dine in. I was happy to have the counter girls have the tip after what I saw. All told I got a $35 take out order for like $20. The tip was 5 something of that.

     

    I am also a former restaurant manager and very familiar with Restaurant.com from the other end. Its a TOTAL jag for the restaurants. The idea is to obviously get new customers in but people will use them every time they come in. Its the restaurants decision to be part of the program so they know what they are getting into, but I would feel bad using the same one often. It's a great deal so I just try to use them for new restaurants and ones I haven't tried yet. The places I go to regularly I try not to use them more than once a month.

     

    Given the occasional problems with them and the attitude from employees and managers that you sometimes get I would not give them as gifts.

    I am a Powerseller on eBay and I sometimes, maybe twice a year, get some kind of Paypal coupon. I don't know who they decide to send these to....but I buy a fair amount also.
