Your business is perfect for the Groupon firehose attention. I maintain that it doesn't work for restaurants though.

- joeguilmette 15y agoI think it's a lot harder for restaurants to be successful with it and a lot easier for them to be buried by it. That said - it's no excuse for them to run Groupons, get pounded, and then point the finger at Groupon - any more so than they can blame their landlords for charging high rent, or their employees for being expensive, or for Comcast charging so much for TV ads. No one is making them run Groupons and no one is lying about what to expect when you run a Groupon.
- pbreit 15y agoWhy not? Restaurant have high gross margins so incremental customers are gold. Every empty seat is lost revenue that can never be found. The chef, waiters, landlord, etc all get paid no matter how many diners walk in.
