It looks like they did 75% off of $40 leaving them with just $5 after Groupon's cut. I don't know how that would ever work with all the labor needed to make a good cupcake. They should have stuck with 50% off and a cap on groupons. Poor planning by the business owner.

- r00fus 15y agoI have heard that Groupon's sales folk are incentivized to have merchants not cap their offers, despite how bad it is long-term for both Groupon and the merchant (if the merchant can't time-shift the purchase, say requiring scheduling)... it's a quick win. This is a logical pressure coming from the rushed IPO and lack of strategic planning for competition.
