DDP or DDE for a signature restaurant?

[Peapicker]

We have an ADR for Jiko at AKL this August. I was wondering if most people would use the 2 dining plan credits or use the DDE 20% off. Would we be better off saving the 2 tables service credits for 2 additional meals. Any thoughts?

You'd be better off going with the DDE, no question.

DDP - Jiko
Fillet $40
Dessert $10
Drink $4
Cost $54
DDE Discount -$10.00
TOTAL - $44
VERY rough numbers - All numbers were generously rounded up and the discount was minimized by .80 to account for tax

DDP Plan $38x2 = $76

There is a $32 difference between the DDP cost and the DDE cost. Yes, you get 2 CS and 2 snack credits, but it'd be a challenge to make that equal $32 so that you'd break even on the day.
