How To Make a BOGO Discount

Here we will cover how to make a buy one, get one discount.

-The first step to setting up a BOGO discount is to navigate to your Product Catalog and assign a tag to the applicable product(s).

BOGO Product Tag

-IF you want your servers to manually apply BOGO discounts from the POS, rather than the discount just automatically applying, navigate to your Segments page to first create a basic segment like the example below. Skip this step if the rule is intended to broadly and automatically apply.

-Next, navigate to the Rules page to setup your BOGO Discount. 

-Steps 1 and 2 are simply naming the rule in how it's displayed internally and externally for guests.

-Step 3 is most likely going to be setting the discount to apply to the entire tab. 

-Step 4 is "YES" to the rule affecting a specific product. You will then apply the tag we created at the very beginning (bogospumoni in the example below). We also want to set the quantity of items to 1. If it was Buy 2, Get 1, then we would set the quantity to 2.  Screenshot 2024-08-07 150615

-Step 5 is where we set the discount at 100%.

-Step 6 "YES" to require certain products for the rule to take effect. This screen looks very similar to step 4 but in this step we again want to add the same tag as in step 4 and set the quantity to 1.

-Steps 7-9 are most likely going to be "NO" but that depends on your operation.

-Step 10 is also depends on whether you allow guests to stack discounts. If you have 20% off of beverages AND want to allow a guest to take advantage of BOGO Sushi, then you would went to say "YES" to allow this to be combined with other rules. If a guest is only allowed one type of discount on their tab, then we would set it to "NO". 

-Steps 11 and 12 are most commonly "NO" for BOGO.

-Click "CREATE" and your order rule is created. 

Note: New order rules are defaulted to OFF to allow time to read/review the order rule. Toggle on if immediately ready to utilize your new order rule.
