Setting Up Happy Hour

Setting Up Happy Hour

Happy Hours are an easy way to set up for a set amount off items for a selected period of time.
Within POSbiz you have have multiple happy hours set up.

Setting Happy Hour Prices in the Menu

All pricing is set in the Menu. 
Each item can have multiple prices attached to it.
By default menus have 2 price levels available, 1 for the normal price and 1 for the Happy Hour price.

1) Open up the Menu in POSbiz Office.
2) Find an item that will be included in the Happy Hour.
3) Expand the item and select the size to set the Happy Hour Price.
4) Select the Price/Cost tab.
5) Enter the price that this item should be sold at during Happy Hour into Price Level 2.
Ensure that Price Level 1 is the normal price for the item.
6) Repeat for all other items that are to be included in the Happy Hour.
7) Once completed commit the menu.

Note that when the Happy Hour is active all items are sold at their Price Level 2 price. 
Ensure that Price Level 2 is only changed for items that are included in the Happy Hour.
By default all items have the same Price Level 1 and 2


Setting up the Happy Hour Profile

In the POS we can set the time and/or days for the Happy Hour.
When Happy Hour is active it will pull the Price Level 2 price.

1) Enter Maintenance > Happy Hour.
2) Press Add and enter a name for the Happy Hour.
3) Set the End Time of the Happy Hour.
4) Set the Start Time of the Happy Hour.
5) Tick the days that this Happy Hour will be active on.
6) Select Price Level 2 from the Price Level drop down.
7) Press OK to save.

The Happy hour will now activate at the time entered, and end automatically.

Start or End time Issues
If you are having these issues  remember you need to change the end date first and then the start date, and if you are using date specific ones please change the date first.
If the Happy Hour is for today you may need to change the date to tomorrow first, set the end time then the start time and then change the date back to today.
