    Mr. Chippy, beside the Port Road round-about, have a 50% sale on all their food! Yep, that's on the take-away or sit-in prices. It's been running for a week, I think, but it's going to continue until further notice.

    I was in there tonight, and it was packed! Good business sense I'd say :D

    Bargain Alert - a bit too specific, but great if you're in the town.

    Have to wonder what their profits were like before, if they can cut the price by half.

    Fish & Chips ... mmmmmmmm! Best I've tasted anywhere. I have to be glad they're just that bit far enough away from me that I don't go too often, especially in this weather.

    Not the best fast food in town but its well handy after a night out..they stay open until something like 3.30 in the morning so you're never stuck for a burger & chips after the night club!

    Except for the one my mate got there last week, they had some already cooked up on a shelf that they re-heated for 2 minutes before slapping into a bun.

    I've always preferred The Friar's Rest over Mr Chippie, though half-prices are hard to beat.

    Is Friar's Rest the one near Gormley's Centra?

    The Friars Rest is just up the Glencar road a bit further, up beside Vivo and The Glencar Inn.

    I had to leave as well! Place was crazy, packed out the door.
    They were taking orders from people at the door waiting to get in.

    At a guess I'd say its making more money.
    There's easily 3 customers for every 1 that has been in it previously now.

    If an average meal cost e8 for a person before now with the extra people they bring in 3*e4 = e12!

    e4 extra at a stroke!!

    BTW how do I type the euro symbol ???

    It varies a wee bit but try pressing the "Alt Gr" key (to the right of the space bar) and the "4" key together.

    Theres a test page here for messing about.

    assuming that it costs nothing to make the food! A more realistic example:

    If they used to have a 50% profit margin

    1 person @ €8 WAS: revenue €8 cost €4 margin €4

    3 people €4 each NOW: revenue €12 cost €12 margin €0 :eek:

    I think this is the 3rd attempt that has been made by an individual to promote this establishment over a period of time. Im referring to a new account registered today with the sole purpose of promoting the premises which is against Boards.ie rules.

    The thread was laying dormant for 21 months so I'll lock it now.
