If you haven't heard yet, there are some websites you can use to get a
discount on your dinner. Some of these websites are like membership
clubs. You register and join the website to get discounts or special
promotions at selected restaurants. Or you can just call the website,
tell them which restaurant you'll dine at and they'll help you order a
seat and then give you discounts.

You may see descriptions of restaurants on these websites, there maybe
other people's comments, which can help you choose the restaurant you'd
like to try. It all sounds too good to be true, but there really is no
hitch!



Fantongwang (www.fantong.com)

The website is one of those early birds to try the business. Now it's
very popular among office workers. Either call their free toll phone
number: 400-716-1717 or post your order sheet through the website.
Different restaurants have different discounts, and you can see all the
information before you make decision.

Chifanwang (www.chifanwang.com)

This website has an English version. Choose selected restaurants through
this website. Every restaurant has its own code. After you finish dining,
send an SMS to Chifanwang 139-1107-9702 and write "Restaurant
Code#Bill".Chifanwang will then send you an SMS back with the discount on
it. Show it to the waiter.

You need to purchase a RMB200 membership card, but you can get a free
trial. If you apply you'll receive no more than RMB100 discounts per
month.



Gudumami (www.gudumami.cn)

There are 8,846 Shanghai restaurants in Gudumami. Fill in their order
sheets, write down all your requirements, such as how much you'll spend,
what kind of cuisine you prefer and which area you'd like to go to and
they will help you find the most suitable restaurant. You can even get
coupons for the restaurant!

The website focuses on the Shanghai area and has a Chinese and Japanese
version.
