I was not aware of that. I can see the logic (“we’re providing a service for your business”, etc.) but it feels like double dipping. Especially since it seems as though that cost is passed straight onto the customer anyhow.
- gallamine 7y agoThe reasoning is that restaurants are using this money for advertising - either they pay to mail out fliers or they pay for listing in the online aggregator. It's a very similar model to paid ads in search engines.
