Depends, if it a part of the marketing budget and gets people through the door, yea, sometimes. But I know where you are coming from, and being in a different business sector I will not pretend to understand your costs.

The sad thing is what soft drinks (post or pre-mix) cost to manufacture and what you are charged for them. My father has been the Lakes Region soda cooling and despencing device repair man for going on 29 years now (some will know, others, well!). The way that resturants are bent over regarding the cost of soda, I would definately think that you would not be wanting to give it away, they certainly don't.
