As Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the summerlong stampede to Cape Cod, tens of thousands of tourists and vacationers are gearing up plans to spend time on the beach, time at the bar and ice cream stand and miniature golf course – and of course just spending, spending, and more spending.

Stephen Williams is all about helping them spend a little less, or at least just not at the same old places. Out of his Cape Cod Click website and technology business in Chatham, Williams and his partners run the CapeCodDailyDeal.com. It offers a very tailored two deals a day – such as, recently, spend $10 for a save-$20 coupon at JT’s Seafood in Brewster; a two-for-one deal on a horseback beach ride at Esperanza in Sandwich; and 58 percent off four classes at Pilates Plus in South Dennis. Coming soon are a half-off deal at Pirates Cove Golf on Route 28 in West Yarmouth, and half-off the Hy-Line ferry to Nantucket.

As you can imagine, there are lots of businesses on the Cape eager to keep people coming through the doors between Columbus Day and Memorial Day. But even in the high season, Williams said, “There's some pretty unique deals in the summer that people kind of have to keep their eye on it every day to see what's coming up.’’

For example, Williams said, come July and August, “Everybody's at the beach. Maybe the bowling alley's not having the same draw that they have on a cold winter night, so maybe they want to get people off in the evening to come in and bowl and have some barbecue … Sometimes we'll get last-minute types of deals that we'll promote for things like wine dinners at resorts if there's a few seats available still.’’

This will be the fourth full summer the Daily Deal has been in business, and they post a running tally of what they've saved people, now nearing $1.6 million from 70,000 deal packages. It’s kind of a far focused, Cape-specific, and homegrown version of Groupon or its ilk, with someone responding within hours from a computer or phone in Chatham if you ever run into trouble redeeming a deal you bought.

Beverly Buckley, a summer rental specialist with John Ricotta & Associates’ ChathamRentals.com, calls herself a “power user” of the Cape Cod Daily Deal.

“It’s nice, because I can buy a daily deal and go try a new restaurant or go try a new activity, and then I can promote it, because I'm in the rental business, to my rental clients,’’ Buckley said. And it’s a nice business perk to bring home to her husband too: “I say, ‘Guess what, honey? We have to go out to dinner because I got a daily deal that we have to use!’ ’’
