How to Configure a "Food Special" Shortcut

This document will show you how to create a shortcut with a food special that rings in multiple items and then discounts it

  • This can be used when the you have a food special for ringing in multiple menu items and get another food item for free
  • First name the button with the name of the food special
  • An optional Description: Buy two BYO pizzas and get a Garlic Cheese Bread for free
  • You could optionally add a context filter to this shortcut that Is only available with the dine in order type

First Action: Ring in an item

  • This action will ring in the selected menu item
  • Use the item dropdown to select the BYO Pizza menu item
    • It will follow the prompts that are attached to that item

Fourth Action: Price Adjust Item (or Apply Discount)

  • On the terminal and the handheld it will price adjust the last item rang in; in this case the Garlic Chz Bread.
  • For this example I set the price adjustment to change the price of the Garlic Chz Bread to $0
  • It does not need an item filter because it will only price adjusting the last item rang in dictated by the shortcut.
  • You could also use the "Apply Discount" action here instead of doing the price adjust.  It just a matter of what you prefer to see in reporting

See it in Action:

  • I added the "2 Pizzas Special" shortcut to the speed rail so that its easy to find
  • It will automatically ring in the 3 menu items that are configured with their respective prompts
  • Then it will price adjust the last item to $0
