1. They don’t need someone to take your order. It’s hard to find people with the soft skills to create a pleasant experience and it costs money to have them in place.
2. Average check is higher on apps because of upselling opportunities. The more you spend, the more they make.
3. Accuracy rates are higher, so you’re more likely to return
4. it’s a medium through which they can track your spending behavior and entice you to return in the event you become a lapsed customer. They can advertise to you for free, basically.
5. Busy fast food restaurants have a revenue bottleneck at the drive thru. Their revenue is capped by how many orders they can process in a certain period of time. The app moves people through the line more quickly, thus increasing throughput and, therefore, revenue

I’m sure there are more benefits I’m not considering, but these are substantial factors to the restaurant. They want to condition this ordering behavior, so they offer discounts to encourage it.

Agree that Espolon silver is a pretty good fit for your first question.

For a gateway sipping tequila, maybe try a really good blanco instead. At $75, I really like Casa Dragones Blanco.

I'm no pro here, but I can give you a point of reference.

I'm in the process of building an outdoor kitchen with granite countertops and a waterfall edge on one side. I need 57 sf of stone for the job. Installation is $1775 and the slab was $1111. The granite I picked, I'm told, was reasonably priced compared to other options.

This shouldn't really help you too much, though. As others have said, these projects are too variable to estimate pricing without knowing all of the information. Not only could the stone you like be much more expensive per sf, but the amount of waste could be greater depending on the veining patterns, particularly if you are doing 2 waterfall edges.

Saints defense under Spags allowed more yards per game than any NFL defense ever.

OOOh, that's great to know. Thank you!

Glad you found someone that is a good fit. As I've recently learned, this seems to be kind of a shady industry.

Cheers and let's hope it is a relatively pain-free process for all of us. Wishful thinking, perhaps.

Thanks again for the tips.

For whatever reason, I am inherently skeptical of pool contractors. I get kind of a used car salesman vibe from some of them. A lot of name dropping, pressure tactics, and vague answers to specific questions.

LA Pools was easy going pre-contract execution. Really hoping that continues and that TygerT's experience was an isolated one.

Damnit!

Any chance I can get you to expand on that? I'd love to know what to look out for.

I didn't see any quotes that low, but demand hasn't been this high in decades, maybe ever, from what I'm told. No surprise that prices have followed.

$15 per sq ft with only about 600-700 sq ft of decking.

Found a phone pic of what we may go with. Hope this link works -
