We have three different price levels for the products at our bar:
- Gold Members
- Standard Members
- Guests
The way the price structure works is standard members pay £0.10 less per pint than Guests, and Gold Members pay £0.20 less per pint than Guests. These discounts vary by product (spirits are discounted less) and by option (half pints are discounted by half the amount a pint is discounted).
Currently we have set this up using options, but the POS gets quite cluttered and for each product selected the bar person must remember to select the correct option for the customer (e.g. Beer A - Pint - Guest, Beer A - Pint - Gold Member, Beer A - Pint - Standard, Beer A - Half Pint - Guest, etc). We then considered using customer group discounts, but it is too slow to select the customer when the bar is busy in order to apply the discounts.
What would we like is one of two options:
1. Being able to have multiple price levels for each product, with a single press of a button at the start or end of a transaction to apply the appropriate prices for that price level
2. Discount groups where we could apply product level discounts which are not automatically applied, which can then be grouped and applied at the end of a transaction. For example, Gold Member discount group would apply the applicable discounts for the items in the transaction:
Discount 1: 'Beer A - Pint' - Discount £0.20
Discount 2: 'Beer A - Half Pint' - Discount £0.10
Discount Group: Gold includes Discount 1 and Discount 2.
The pint and half pint are options on the item 'Beer A'.
Happy to supply further information about our requirements.
