“Politeness costs nothing and gains everything” is brought to life at this restaurant in Telangana’s Hyderabad. Saying “please” and “thank you”, to the restaurant’s staff at Dakshin-5 in the Khajaguda area gives you the courtesy discount. The policy of the restaurant is that the more the customer shows courtesy, the more discounts they get. The news of this restaurant captures everyone’s attention as the Twitter post goes viral. The post read, “Foodies in Hyderabad, check out Dakshin-5 restaurant in Khajaguda. It has a unique offer ‘Courtesy Discounts’. Pay the full price of thali Rs 165/- + if you order normally. If you order pleasingly…more discounts.”

Dakshin 5- Restaurant in Hyderabad

The 56 seater restaurant serves famous dishes from different areas of South India, including Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana. And, most importantly, the unique restaurant offers easy and interesting discounts to its patrons. Located in the city’s IT corridor at Khajaguda, the restaurant offers courtesy discounts.

So, if one says ‘a thali please’ while ordering a vegetarian thali then one might get it for Rs 150 plus taxes from the original cost of Rs 165 plus taxes. Thus, offering a discount of Rs 15. Likewise, if the customer greets the staff with ‘Good Afternoon’ and then orders thali and adds ‘please’ at the end of the sentence, the dish gets further discounted. The customer is most likely to get a discount of Rs 30, bringing down the price from Rs 150 to Rs 135. There is a board right outside the restaurant prominently announcing these discounts. Hence, the ‘courtesy discounts’ make this restaurant one of a kind.

Courtesy Discounts

According to the Managing Partners of Hotel Dakshin-5, A K Solanky and Sanjeev Kumar Blake, this act not only encourages customers to be polite but also puts a smile on their faces. “The common courtesy has become very uncommon, and we are trying to bring back that culture,” said Solanky. Sanjeev Kumar further adds, “Though we serve, we are not servants, and we need to be treated well. Many times restaurant staff is badly treated for no fault of theirs”. Moreover, the restaurant has also introduced a discount called ‘Elder the Better’, encouraging more elders to visit the restaurant. However, the senior citizens can avail of this offer for the next one month only.
