Groupon’s Breadcrumb point-of-sale application for restaurants acts as a replacement for cash registers and gives users the ability to do other things. Combine this shift with its acquisition of Savored and it’s apparent that Groupon is placing itself in the ring with OpenTable. But this could be a mistake, since restaurants are already cozy with OpenTable. Groupon is essentially focusing on “recreating the wheel,” all while OpenTable sits alone and eBay launches its own daily-deals competitor. (NASDAQ.com)
