Groupon offers discount, could be a good thing except with Restaurants. Cheap is NO GOOD! Cheap for no good reason is especially bad.

I was skeptical about Groupon when my partner wanted to try out with restaurants. As soon as he brought up about that we must present the groupon as soon as we walk in the restaurant or even when we make the reservation. I sensed something fishy.

Restaurants want to boost volume at a lower price, that is understandable. But do they want to loose solid money for these discounted volume? This is questionable.

We found our answers and proves during our restaurants visits. How the restaurants remain consistent profit? They cut corners... which correspond to their need to know that the suckers (discounted eaters) are coming when you present your coupon.

There is no better explanation or any other reasons that Groupon holders must show it up front (before they are served).

You do the math.
