While some restaurants are more generous than they need to be...there are many who sign on for promotion through restaurant.com based on the listed terms...and most certs print the following out along with your certificate...at least it's always printed out for me when I've gotten them. Most restaurants are not willing to offer the same deals for take out because it minimizes their profit to the point of ridiculous (or non-existent.) When people dine
in, they will generally order drinks and possibly apps or desert...so even though profit on the meal is lost...they'll still make money and they're servers will earn tips as well...so everyone benefits.
