gena712 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Time slipped up on me and I forgot to set up a retirement lunch for my boss. Despite my procrastination, I really would like for it to be nice. The celebration would likely be during lunch on July 31. The parameters (in order of priority) would be: Allows a group of about 30 to have separate checks Nice, but reasonably priced (some of my coworkers are notoriously cheap 🤥) Private area/room Near L'Enfant Plaza (walking distance or within 1-2 Metro stops) Any suggestions? Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRiv18 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've actually had a group at the National Place Food Court after 1:30pm, I thought it worked out really well given the group's size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweaked Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Get off at Archives and go to Hill Country? or see if Teaism can do something for you in their basement room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, how about Masala Art? Mi Vida? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - but seriously - please take one check and split it yourselves. At a low price point, 30 separate checks are going to take this from low-margin to near money losing for a restaurant given the private room. Credit cards charge a flat fee plus a percentage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. There is a free app called Splitwise that will easily split a check any number of ways. May prove useful in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck. gena712, I know this is coming as a bomb-drop, but splitting a check 30-ways within a restaurant is taboo - you had no way to know this, of course, but please just take it as gospel that it is wrong in every possible way. Sometimes, you need to hear something explained one time before you understand it - you were perfectly justified in asking this question, and if you still don't understand the "why," I hope you at least understand the "if." Please feel free to write me privately, and we can discuss this. Thank you for posing your question here, and please let us know how things work out.
