* Check the restaurant's website: Look for a "deals," "specials," or "promotions" section. Many chains will list student discounts there, if they have them.
* Look for student discount apps: Apps like UNiDAYS, Student Beans, and SheerID partner with various businesses to offer exclusive deals to students, including restaurant discounts. These are often location-based.
* Call the restaurant directly: The easiest way to know for sure is to call the specific location you're interested in.
* Check social media: Follow your favorite restaurants on social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). They often announce promotions there.
* Use a student discount website/app aggregator: Some websites or apps specialize in compiling student discounts. Search online for "student discount websites" to find options.
Keep in mind that you'll usually need a valid student ID to claim the discount. The type of ID accepted (school ID card, student driver's license, etc.) can vary.
