Frequently Asked Questions

DealsBanana is a coupon marketplace in the United States for biryani, mithai, chai, and more — restaurants, sweet shops, cafés, bakeries, and beyond. Businesses publish coupons and special offers; diners browse, claim a coupon, and redeem it in person. Every business is verified.

Find a coupon you like, claim it, and you get a QR code. Show the QR when you visit and staff scan it to apply your discount. Most coupons are free to claim; some carry a small claim price — either way you redeem in person.

Percentage off, fixed-dollar off, slow-day and off-peak specials, BOGO (buy one get one), bundles, festival and seasonal deals, and group "meetup" offers. Use the filters on the coupon browse page to narrow by type, discount, expiry, category, or business.

A meetup coupon unlocks a bigger discount once a group size is met — for example, "25% off when 5 friends dine together." Everyone claims the coupon, you bring the group in, and you redeem together in person. There is no upfront online payment and no card hold; the business applies the discount when the group condition is met.

Each business declares whether it is halal-certified, and coupons can be tagged accordingly. Look for the green "Halal" badge on a business's card. We rely on the business's self-declaration — when in doubt, ask directly.

Every coupon shows its validity window and expiry. Restaurants can also add conditions — specific days or times, dine-in vs. takeout, a minimum spend, or blackout dates — those are shown on the coupon and checked automatically the moment you redeem.

You claim coupons for free on DealsBanana — no payment to us at all. You pay the restaurant directly, in person, when you redeem.

Businesses confirm their listing from public business data when they sign up, and paying for a plan is what activates an account. Our agents review for fraud in the background and a human steps in only to block illegitimate accounts — legitimate businesses are never held up by a manual queue.

Visit /register, confirm your business and pick your category — restaurant, sweets & mithai, café, bakery, and more — (we auto-fill the details), and subscribe to a plan — about two clicks. Then describe a deal in plain words and our agents draft the coupon image and copy for you to tweak and publish.

Businesses pay a flat monthly subscription to publish coupons. Your plan sets how many active coupons you can run and which offer types you can use. There is no per-order commission, ever — the in-store sale stays yours. See /pricing for current plans.

Yes. DealsBanana publishes structured data so your live coupons can surface in web search and inside AI assistants — diners asking an AI for "biryani coupons near me" or "mithai deals near me" can discover your offers and link back to claim them.
