    Thanks for your insights. Haven't worked in a restaurant but have dealt with managers/owners as part of launching a food-delivery startup (was way ahead of its time, had to send orders by text!).

    Thanks Dan. Drinks will not be discounted, only food. Can you pls help me understand a little bit more?

So you would say- "I am happy to seat 10 people for 50% off at 3pm on Wednesday, 5 people for 25% off at 5 pm on Thursday etc." We will send the reservations your way and charge a...
