Options

The 2-for-1 Deal

By introducing a 2-for-1 deal the restaurant must sacrifice some of their profits on these additional meals. If they make £20 per table of 4 on the new offer then they need to sell 35 extra tables to generate the £700

The Options

Selling the meals on Silvatree

If the restaurant is a member of Silvatree he can instead sell the meals that he would ordinarily sell for £100 for 100 Silva.

Selling the meals on Silvatree

After selling 7 tables of 4 to Silvatree members for 100 Silva each, the restaurant has generated 700 Silva. The Silva can be used to pay for the printing of the menus with a printer who is also a member of the exchange.
