I know there are other centers in our area that use Groupons to get people in to bowl like we do. We have two hour ones that come with a free pizza, pitcher of soda and free shoes and another that's just a straight up hour and free shoes. People seem to be going completely bonkers over these things. I don't know what it is but we have been crazy busy lately from open to close 7 days a week because of them. Truth be told with the summer prices of $2 a game and $2 shoe rental I don't see that they are saving much if not paying more for the Groupon. LOL Even the ones that come with a pizza, 80% of the time they end up ordering either another pizza or more food and more drinks then pay for additional time.
What's worse is some with the two hour ones come an hour before close. Unless were packed at close they don't get to use the second hour. So far I haven't had anyone who cared and used it for the one hour anyway. From a business standpoint it's great, we get a lot of people in the door that probably wouldn't have normally came. From a consumers standpoint it pays to call the center first to see what the prices are before buying them. From my standpoint as an employee it's great, constant flow of people so more tips and the time flies by. Right now we seem to be busier than before the leagues ended.
