KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Muncharoo.com, a Kansas City based website that uses the power of group buying and social networking, has featured more than 175 deals and issued over 50,000 vouchers to 40,000 subscribers in the metro area since launching in June 2010. The site has also donated more than $18,000 to local non-profits, most recently donating $2,280 to displaced and injured pets in Joplin.

"An analysis of our data over the past year has shown that the average restaurant check exceeds 150 percent of the voucher amount," said Eric Vianello, founder of Muncharoo.  "Typically, 85 percent of the vouchers are redeemed within three months of the purchase date and the average return on cost of goods sold is more than 200 percent. We're happy to have a business that both customers and merchants love."

Muncharoo attracts new customers by utilizing group buying and social media. Every day, Muncharoo works as a merchant's marketing agent to promote and sell vouchers offering substantial discounts on products or services.  The discount is then offered and promoted to thousands of Muncharoo e-mail subscribers and site visitors.

Lyman adds the restaurant has experienced an 85 to 90 percent redemption rate with coupons from Muncharoo.
