    Few crucial delivery questions I need help with.

    I will be starting delivery very soon. I really need help with a couple things. We will be charging a $2 delivery fee. My POS allows me to pay by the mile if I want to.

    Coupons

    We run coupons but they are only good Sunday through Thursday. This way we can offer more aggressive deals during the slower days and not worry about the coupon people taking up valuable table space on Friday and Saturday.
