Does it even matter that it takes three months? Most groupons are valid for more than three months. Even though I assume most are used within the first month, its still not all of them.
groupons not redeemed don't cost the business owner anything. The ones that are redeemed require him to front the cash. This is cash flow management 101 (and one of the things that enrages some people about Apple and Amazon. Apple sells you a new iPad, but buys its suppliers 90 days later. Those suppliers, just like groupon merchants, are making 90 day loans out of pocket).
