By , About.com Guide

Enjoy eating out, but hate spending a lot of money to do it? Restaurant.com could be the answer.
What is Restaurant.com:
Restaurant.com is a website that sells gift certificates to restaurants all over the country at a deeply discounted price – $10 certificates sell for $3 and $25 certificates sell for $10.
How It Works:
To purchase a restaurant gift certificate, go to restaurant.com and enter your zip code to pull up all of the participating restaurants in your area. Then, choose the restaurant that looks interesting to you, and add a certificate to your shopping cart. Once you complete your order, you'll receive a link to print out your gift certificate.
How to Redeem Restaurant.com Certificates:
To use your restaurant.com gift certificate, just present it to your server when you place your order, and they'll take care of the rest.
Certificate Restrictions:
When choosing a certificate, pay special attention to the terms and restrictions set forth by each restaurant. Most require you to spend a certain dollar amount before they're valid – say a $35 minimum purchase to use a $25 certificate. Others may stipulate that the certificates can only be used on certain days or times.
How Long are Certificates Good For:
Most certificates are good for one year from the date of purchase.
