How to set up an event in the Back Office of the Retail or Restaurant Solution

What's in this article?

Use the Events menu to establish special pricing for use during specific times of the day, such as during happy hour, or on a specific day of the week, such as every Sunday. First, define when each event is to occur, and then access each of the items subject to the special pricing and designate which events apply to the items and at what price you wish to sell the item during the event time frame.

At the company level, you create events, and then add the event and event price for each item you desire. If you have multiple stores, setting up the events at company level also allows you to apply an event to the desired store(s). Price lists may be applied to an event.
