Type

Beat The Clock

Enable this option to use "Beat the Clock" promotions, where an item price starts at a discounted price and then steadily increases as time goes on. This is designed to encourage customers to purchase this item before the price increases, hence "Beat the Clock".

Interval

Select the start time and end time of the Beat the Clock promotion.

Start Price

Set the price of the item at the start of the Beat the Clock promotion. The start price is normally heavily discounted compared to the regular sale price.

Variance

Select by how much the item's price will increase at each Beat the Clock interval. For instance, if you enter $1.00 in this field, the price would increase by $1.00 at every interval defined in the Minutes per Variance field, until the end of the promotion is reached. The Variance and Minutes per Variance are typically calculated so the price of the item near the end of the promotion is close to its regular sale price.

Minutes per variance

Select how long, in minutes, each Beat the Clock interval lasts. For instance, if you enter 30 in this field, the price will increase by the amount set in the Variance field every half-hour.

Misc.

Hold and Fire Delay (sec)

Enter how long, in seconds, the item should be held before being printed on requisition (kitchen) printers or kitchen monitors. Use this feature to synchronize the preparation time of items.

Price per quantity

Use this section to set different item prices based on the quantity ordered. For instance, donuts can have a price when sold individually, a discounted price when 6 or more are sold, and an even better price when 12 or more are sold together.

Qty >=

Enable the checkbox next to each line to activate it. Enter the quantity of items to be ordered for the special price to apply, and type the discounted price in the field to the right. The discounted price will apply if the quantity of items ordered is equal or greater than the value entered in the Qty field.

Prices

This section contains modes arranged by lines and price levels arranged in columns. Custom prices can be configured for each mode / price level combination, for a total of 16 possible combinations.

Modes

The 4 modes are arranged in 4 lines. Modes are configured in the Point of Sale Control module > Invoice Menu > Modes... Make sure that the Copy if changed option is disabled if you want to configure custom prices. If the Copy if changed option is enabled, modes will all receive the price configured in the Regular Price field.

Price Levels

The 4 Price Levels are arranged in 4 columns. Price Levels are configured in the Setup / Utilities Module > System Config > Configuration. Make sure that the Copy if changed option is disabled if you want to configure custom prices. If the Copy if changed option is enabled, Price Levels will all receive the price configured in the Regular Price field.
