personally glad to hear that L'Ecrevian is back to selling their own if discounted vouchers. Selling on Groupon is such a killer and must destroy any cash flow forecasting
Clearly they are fucked from the baggot street and merrion square estate agents, solicitors, financial services types all having the expense cards taken away.
No more Tuesday night out few g&t's before, couple of bottles of good red during and a few top shelf scotchs to wash it all down after being stuck on the bill for some nameless client\company credit card.
People now in with vouchers for the food and a half bottle of something modest to allow a clear head for the morning in work. Cant up sell these people so potential to increase revenues per visit is non existent unless you charge for the cloak room.
If I was them I would instead of offering vouchers at a discount go to all the firms that still go for corporate ents and tell the cfo that is 20% off the bill if paid with company credit card.
Stops plebs like me with half price paper getting in and makes everything look swankier and more celtic tiger. Appearances are everything in the restaurant game and now that the poor reviews are coming out the place will get slower and slower.Last edited by RichieM; 24-10-12, 15:49.

Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostIt's more that if a place has to resort to selling vouchers it raises some questions. It's also a slippery slope, I imagine people are reluctant to go back to a place at a full price.
Yea definitely raises questions alright. I'd think if I went to a place I got a deal from I'd have no problem going back paying full price if the food,service etc was very good.

Decided to check out a few ads for Nexus 7 tablets earlier today and have ended up agreeing to buy one (a few months old 16GB version) for €200, including case. Probably not a great deal but no interest in haggling this time. Should be getting my hands on it tonight, exciting
In tandem, and greatly spurred on by the fact I am no longer able to play on Pokerstars and will be unable to play on FTP, thus decimating my interest in playing online poker in front of the TV as I just can't live with sub-par poker software, I've decided to flog my Dell Studio 1737 17" laptop, if anyone is looking for one:
It's in good nick and still a relatively powerful piece of kit, considering it is a few years old at this stage. If you or anyone you know might be interested, feel free to PM. I hope that with the Nexus 7 I can live without a laptop for a year or so, no doubt I'll buy another pointless desktop replacement beast in a year's time, I seem to replace my desktops and laptops on alternate years and have already bought a new kickass desktop in 2012!

Interesting moment on that third goal. Micah Richards might have blocked that shot if he'd thrown himself at it instead of standing up and putting his hands behind his back.
Shirley the chances of the ball coming off your hand is much smaller than your chance of getting a good block on the shot while standing up that far from the ball?"I can’t find anyone who agrees with what I write or think these days, so I guess I must be getting closer to the truth." - Hunter S.

Not too nerdy to really enjoy my last hour setting up my new Nexus though, it seems pretty sweet! Stocked with music, videos and books to beat the band now.
