For those who have never used Restaurant.com, but hear me extol its virtues, here is how it works.
You purchase a discounted gift certificate (make sure to check the cert for restrictions, such as a minimum purchase amount or mandatory gratuity ) for a local restaurant. You have a year from the date of purchase to use it.
Here is an example of how to use the certs to your advantage.
Cafe XYZ- Certificate for $15.00. Terms of cert: $15 off the purchase of $30 or more. Mandatory 18% gratuity.
- The check comes to $30.00
- Mandatory grat. 18% $5.40
- Minus Cert amt. -$15.00
- Total New Bill: $14.60
- Gift Certificate Cost $6.00, but thanks to coupon code REAL, you save 50% off the certificate making the total $3.00 for the Gift certificate.
The price for this complete meal is $17.60 (that includes the cost of the certificate). The total amount saved $12.40.
They offer discounted certs in smaller amounts too.
ABC Cafe- Certificate for $25.00. Terms of the cert: $25.00 off the purchase of $35.00 or more. Mandatory 18% gratuity.
