Industry: Restaurant (Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner)
Model: Click-and-Mortar
Powered by: Click Deal Buy!®
Challenge: Afternoon traffic slump + excess food inventory
Solution: Real-time, geolocated deal activation with Click Deal Buy!®
The Problem
The restaurant performed well during breakfast and dinner, but afternoons between noon and 3 PM lagged.
- Staff on the clock
- Food already prepared
- Tables sitting empty
- No fast way to reach nearby customers right now
Static promos couldn’t react. Broad ads lacked precision. The restaurant needed local demand, instantly—not impressions.
The Click Deal Buy!® Solution
Using Click Deal Buy!®, the restaurant dropped a live deal directly into the Click Deal Buy!® network UI.
With a few taps, they placed a geolocated PIN on the map covering the surrounding area.
What Happened Next:
- Anyone on the Click Deal Buy!® network within range received a real-time notification
- The deal appeared only to shoppers nearby
- The offer was clearly marked as location-based and time-sensitive
The Deal:
Today Only | Noon–3 PM
- FREE large drink with any lunch entrée
- Order online & pick up → get a FREE dessert
- Car wash upgrade next door: $10 value for $6
(Upgrade valid all week)
Real-Time Control
This wasn’t a “set it and forget it” promotion.
With Click Deal Buy!®, the restaurant maintained full control:
- The deal went live instantly when demand was needed
- The PIN stayed active only while tables were filling
- Once the restaurant hit its target return for the afternoon, the deal disappeared
- No over-discounting.
- No excess redemptions.
- No wasted margin.
