Discount management allows the user to create any type of discount that applies to any selection with several conditions. This very flexible discount management program can be used in the POS, Front Office as well as Rate Codes.
Example: We can create a discount that only applies to a single recipe if the bill is paid by a specific credit card. But we can also have a happy hour buy 1 get 2 for all drinks or just 1 recipe.
The user can create a sale of 30% from a certain date until a certain date.
Practically unlimited options.
Few examples
The discount can be:
- By Outlet,
- By Recipe Type in combination with the recipe
- By Rate Code
- By Accommodation
- By BDI Category, in combination with the BDI
.

- Buy/Get: If "buy" has a value, "get" must have a value as well, and get must be higher than buy. If "buy" and "get" is used percentage and amount must be zero.
