Groupon: Collective Buying Power

I love today’s groupon. Not because it applies to me, but I think it’s really cool that groupon can negotiate these rates on something like this.

Obviously a business like this can’t advertise these rates. But I’m sure business is lagging, and keeping staff on their feet and covering operating costs is important. In this way groupon is helping prevent economic waste.

Ever consider doing what Woot does with t-shirt woot (sorry, I’m sure the comparison is tiring) and have separate groupon sections? I think a food-only and then non-food ones would be a cool.

That said, “cool” and “over-complicated and headed toward the deadpool” are a bit close to each other for new startups.

Well if you like I can intercept their organic customers and sell them info that will allow them to get a reservation for thousands less!
