If you re-read my math carefully, you’ll see it there. You are correct, I’ve NEVER used a deal site. However, I’ve been pitched by many deal site salespersons and have done the math to calculate profit/loss and cost/benefit for many businesses. It has never been a good fit for the businesses I was analyzing the data for. As I stated in my blog post, for some businesses deal sites might work great. However, I caution any business to do the math before jumping into it. Thanks for stopping by and reading my post!

this person has never worked with a deal site because he is pulling number out of the air without calculating actual F&B costs and human nature in overspending while dinning out. Very poor. I should know, I have worked with a deal site.
