Deceptive practices
I purchased $50 value gift certificate from Restaurant.com for $20, thinking I got a great deal, but when I went to redeem it, it required me to spend $100 + 18% gratuity before I could use the gift certificate.

In big prints they promoted the $50 value, but in tiny print they may have stated the requirements, but I did not have the time to read it. I called to ask for a refund but they turned me down. Their customer server line has over 60 minutes wait time.

It's easer to say away from them, but if you are in the same boat as me, be on the lookout for a class action as many people are ripped of like this. Some day the court may give you some refund :(

not living up to agreement
This company falsely represents themselves. They invite you to sign your restaurant up for their promotion and then they tell you you can cancel at any time. This is completely false. They will not cancel without a waiting period. Buyer beware. This company will be out of business soon.

Restaurant no longer accepts certificates
I bought a $25 Yoko's gift certificate three months ago - I did not rush to use it since it noted that it did not expire. We attemped to use the certificate tonight and were told that Yoko's no longer accepts the certificates due to problems with restaurant.com. Apparently restaurant.com was difficult to get in touch with. They did mention that we could call and get our money refunded into restaurant.com credit to use towards another certificate. Do I really want to go through the effort and have this happen again? Probably not and that's probably what the website wants so they get to keep their profits.

Bad customer service
Sales person IDRIS, Oh might gutch, He was so mean, he was mad everytime I asked a question, he was walking me thru the web to print out my certificate, for a first time buyer is so difficult to do it yourself, he tried so hard to make you feel so stupid. Everytime I asked go to continue he will say something like is self explanatory, at the end I told him he has a job because of us purchasing, and if he continues to treat people like that he won't have a job soon because this was the last time i was going to buy from them . Please dont buy from this place, they should traine their people first and I hope restaurants.com reads this and gives him some kind of disciplinary action. I almost have my company start bying frm them

selling coupons for more than agrred price, can not get offers correct.
After several attempts they still can't get the coupon correct and are selling them for double the agreed upon price. When asked why they said, because we sold so many they thought they could get more money for themselves. When I told them that wasn't the agreed price and to stop selling them. They threatened to sue me.

HOW TO DIVORCE YOUR RESTAURANT FROM THESE SCUM SUCKERS!
BEWARE and do NOT sign your restaurant up for this SCAM! They will bleed you dry and take what little profit margin you have left! If you are in the unfortunate position of having signed up for this program, they will ignore your repeated requests to cancel the program and try every trick in the book to keep your listing on their site so that more and more of your customers are printing these coupons and using them like monopoly money for free food and drink.
We are restaurant owners who kept notifying them for 6 months of our cancellation, but they kept ignoring us. We finally got smart and found ONE strategy that worked. It finally dawned on us that they were continuing to post our photos, menus, and other copyrighted materials on their site despite our repeated demands that they remove the listing. We had to send them a formal certified mail letter as legal notice BOTH to Restaurant.com AND their internet service provider notifying them they were engaging in willful federal copyright infringement in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act by continuing the display our copyrighted photographs, designs, menus, and other media belonging to us on their web site despite our repeated “take-down” notices to them.

The letter demanded thousands of dollars per day in copyright damages for every one of our copyrighted images for each day they continued to display such images on their site, plus attorney’s fees and court costs. BAM! Our listing was taken down within hours of sending them (and their ISP) this legal notice. So any restaurant owners out there who are suffering with this company can try this copyright angle if they refuse to promptly cancel your listing upon request.

For the rest of you, just say “NO” and don’t get sucked into this scam in the first place! You are MUCH better off creating your own “loyalty” program where you can attract and reward customers in ways that are under your complete control. For that matter, you can create a Facebook listing and simply send out posts on facebook offering specials to your followers there. You don’t need Restaurant.com and it is potentially very dangerous for your business.

They do not show all the terms and conditions until after you have paid for and printed the coupons
Be very careful. They do not show all the terms and conditions until after you have paid for and printed the coupons. The terms shown for the coupon were;

“ Minimum purchase of $35. 18% Gratuities added prior to discount. Valid for dinner only. Food ONLY. Present prior to ordering. Not valid for in-house promotions”

I decided to by two coupons and I advised my friend to do the same. The same message came up again just before I confirmed my purchase.

Then when I printed my coupon I saw for the first time these additional terms and conditions. “ Only one coupon may be redeemed per party per month per restaurant even if the party is seated at separate tables and /or receives more that one check.”

So three of the four coupons I purchase were useless. To me this is false advertising. I will be on the phone to them Monday morning. Watch out for these people.

Unusable Deals
This company sells certificates for restaurants that are already closed/shut down. I purchased one in November and tried to use it last month but the place was closed. I even bought it for a discount (something like $3 for $15 worth or $5 for $25). Well, now, I have a $5 value/credit for this but can't buy anything but $5 worth. Can't even use it for any deals.

Basically, I just purchased a trap into buying dollar for dollar to a restaurant that MAY be closed. When I was credited the money spent, I went online today to see what I could use it towards since there are no refunds... the SAME restaurant is on special and STILL being sold even though I've reported it SHUT DOWN and it evidently has been for months.

fraudulent coupons
I purchased through my nursing insurance site NSOMarketplace, some restaurant.com coupons for a Christmas gift for my children at their favorite restaurant. When they tried to use them, they were embarrassed to find out that they were fraudulent. I notified restaurant.com on February 25th I believe and was told I could get replacement coupons to another restaurant. I stated that I wanted a full refund. It seemed that i was going to get my refund until today when I received an e-mail stating that I cannot get a refund because I paid through PayPal and they cannot refund past 60 days! I purchased these on December 23, 2010. They were found to be fraudulent on February 25th and I cannot get a refund! I am very upset about the run around I am getting!

Do not waste your money on this site
Do not waste your money on this site! Basically if a restaurant is on here, it is in the lower 25% in quality and service. Occasionally you may find a restaurant you like but the requirements are ridiculous and most of the time you will end up not using your gift cards. Also, only get these gift cards for free! They always have promotions so do not even pay $2 for a $10 gift card because the least you can do is get it for free when you don't end up using it!
