How to configure a BOGO Shortcut

This document will show you how to configure a BOGO (or 2 for 1) discount

  • This can be used when the happy hour special is "buy one drink and get a second drink for free"
  • First name the button BOGO (or 2 for 1)
  • TheAn Descriptionoptional is:Description: Buy one item get a second one free
  • You could optionally add a context filter to this shortcut that
    • only allows bartenders and servers to apply this discount
    • is only available in the bar zone
    • Is only available with the dine in order type

First Action: Duplicate Item

  • On the terminal it will duplicate the selected item(s), or the last entered unsent item
  • On the handheld it will ONLY duplicate the last entered item, that is still unsent (Green)
    • It will NOT duplicate an item that was previously sent

Second Action: Apply Discount

  • On the terminal it will Apply the discount to the selected item(s), or the last entered unsent item, or the selected seat
  • On the handheld it will ONLY apply item level discounts. It will not apply a check level discount
    • It will only apply the discount to an unsent item that is still green. It will not add it to a previously sent item
  • Use the "Discount" dropdown to select which discount you'd like to apply to the item/seat
    • The discount will follow all the rules and settings applied when building the discount
  • In this example I created a discount called BOGO. 
    • It is an item level discount
    • It is only available with the Alcohol Tax Type (so staff can't use it with food)
    • (You could also set an item level filter that is only available on drinks that you put in the filter)
