  • Select Custom Discount under template selection

  • Step 1 of 12: Name the discount for internal use

  • Step 2 of 12: Name the discount for external use (this is what the customer will see in their cart)

  • Choose if the discount is “Autograt exempt” or “tip exempt”

  • Autograt exempt: Ensures autograt (created in location settings > service fees) is based on the total before discounts.

  • Tip exempt: Ensures tip percentages (tip scale set in zones) is based on the total before discounts.

  • Step 3 of 12: Choose whether you want the discount to apply to the tab (all orders within a tab) or order (each time a new set of products are ordered by the guest or sent on the POS on the tab)

  • Step 4 of 12: Choose if the discount affects a specific product

If the discount affects a specific product(s), add a tag for the product then be sure to tag the product(s) afterwards.

  • If the discount affects multiple products, add the same tag to all

After creating your discount, you can adjust the time the discount is applied, which can be a great way to set up specific happy hour deals. You can also choose a start and end date for your discount if you’d like it to only be offered for a limited time. Screen Shot 2021-04-28 at 3.45.39 PM Discount Entire Order**
