Scheduled pricing rules

A pricing rule is a discount that applies automatically during a window you define. Happy hour on the drinks category from 4pm to 6pm, Monday to Thursday. The screen is Dynamic Pricing, with the heading Pricing Rules.

Plans

Bistro, Brasserie, Signature, Enterprise

Can it be switched off?

Yes — an owner or manager can turn it off under Setup → Features.

Where to find it

Catalog → Pricing Rules. Requires the tenant.pricing_rules.manage permission — there is no view-only level for this screen, so anyone who can open it can change it.

Building a rule

Select Add Rule. A rule has four parts.

1. Scope — what it applies to

Scope	Shown as
A single product	Product: Pale Ale
A whole category	Category: Drinks
Everything	Global rule

2. Discount

Discount Type and Discount Value — a percentage off, or a fixed amount off.

3. Schedule

Field	Purpose
Start Date / End Date	The calendar window the rule exists in.
Start Time / End Time	The daily window inside it.
Days of Week	Mon–Sun, or Every day.

Note

Schedule times use your restaurant’s timezone, not the guest’s and not the server’s. The screen says so directly: “Schedule times use your restaurant timezone from” your settings. If your rule fires an hour early or late, check the timezone under Localisation before you change the rule.

4. Priority and stacking

Priority decides which rule wins when more than one matches the same item.

Stackable decides whether a rule can combine with another matching rule, or whether it applies alone.

The combination matters. A global 10% rule and a 20%-off-drinks rule both match a beer at 5pm. If neither stacks, priority picks one. If both stack, the guest gets both. Decide which you meant before you publish them — a kitchen will not notice, but your margin will.

Pricing rules versus coupons

	Pricing rule	Coupon
Applied	Automatically, in its window	When someone enters a code
Guest needs to know anything?	No	Yes — the code
Usage limits	No	Yes
Scope	Product, category or global	The whole order

Use a rule for “every Tuesday, pizzas are $5 off”. Use a coupon for “here is a code for your next visit”.

Editing and deleting

Rules are searchable by name. Edit Pricing Rule changes one in place, confirming with Rule updated. Deleting asks “Delete this rule?” and there is no trash — a deleted pricing rule is gone, so note down the numbers of anything seasonal you may want back.
