You can choose any individual menu item in your restaurant menu configuration to be a required item for a discount. The item might be one of a list of items, or might be part of a combo group of items.
To make the selected item more specific, you can specify eligible sizes or modifiers.
To search for a menu item, begin to type the name in the item search box.
In the list of matching items, menu groups, and menus, click the item name.
For an individual menu item, you can also choose the required modifiers or sizes. You cannot configure modifiers for a required item that is a menu group.
For a menu item that uses size pricing, you specify the sizes that qualify for the discount. For example, a discount might apply to large and extra-large cheese pizzas but not to small cheese pizzas.
When you select a menu item that uses size pricing, you are prompted to select the eligible sizes. On the size dialog, click the dropdown list for the sizes, then click each size that is eligible for the discount. To save the selected sizes, click Save.
For a combo discount, if you select more than one size, the Toast platform treats the lowest-priced size, which is typically the smallest, as the base size for the combo price. The Toast platform increases the combo price for the higher-priced sizes, which are typically larger, by the additional amount for those larger sizes. For more information, see Upcharging discounted items in a combo discount.
The order in which the Toast platform considers sizes for size upcharging is based purely on the size pricing for the menu item. The names that you give to sizes, such as small, large, and extra large, do not affect how the platform considers the sizes.
For a menu item that has modifiers, you can specify which modifiers qualify as required items or are included in the discount price.
-
You can specify that a discount price includes, but does not require, one or more modifiers for a menu item. For example, a discount price might include a cheese pizza with up to two modifiers from a pizza toppings menu group.
-
You can specify that a menu item must have a specific number of modifiers or specific modifiers to qualify for a discount. For example, a discount might apply to a cheese pizza with a jalapeno topping, but not to a cheese pizza with no toppings or to a cheese pizza with toppings other than jalapenos.
Combo discounts that include modifier options apply to the least expensive modifiers for an item. For more information, see Configuring a combo discount.
