Something a business should NEVER say to a customer

Am I right?

OP mentioned that there was a $50 max discount. So saving (costing the restaurant) $50 versus saving (costing) several hundred.

BUT if 5 parties came in with the coupon, it be the same thing!

Its funny cause just today, I was wondering what the margins were for buffets.

49 people, I'll say you'd need 5 coupons. If you had 5 coupons (and not "we had like one for each table"), then there's no reason they shouldn't give it to you. Was each table under $50?

Did you all pay the full price? If a business pulls this then I'd threaten to simply leave without paying; see how they like that. If they say "we'll call the cops" then that simply makes it easier-- you've got one coupon for each table (and each table is under $50) so I don't think they'd like to call the cops on you-- because you're in the right.

Agree, though some are just to small to eat the loss like a big chain could. Could become problematic to give in to the customer sometimes, because the scammers (not in response to the OP, but just general non ethical people) will tell their friends to throw a big fuss to get freebies/discounts...

They told us that if we called in for 5 separate tables instead of saying a large group of 46, then they would've let us apply the discount card. So it seems like there's a loophole they would honor but since I didn't try anything shady I don't get the discount. Then comes the fat line I hate:

"If we let you take 20% off everyone's order, we wouldn't make any money"

So they say they would let you take 20% off everyone's order if you split up the reservation, yet they say they can't let you do it because they won't make money off it? How would they have made money if you made 5 reservations?
