I asked the spa owner once how Groupon works on their side and she tells me the % and I asked, "is that on the price paid or the price overall?" and she said it all depends how good your negotiating skills are.

Personally I love Groupon but I believe it is hindering brand loyalty and will mess with pricing for all services.
