Dynamic Pricing example #1: Heck yeah, I want fries with that!

In this example, “French Fries” are free as part of entrees, but they cost $2.00 if ordered a la carte.

1. Create a Dynamic Pricing Rule to specify that fries are 0.00 if ordered with an entree. The rule is built as follows:

IF(ISMOD(), DISCOUNT(100))

• Name the rule, “FreeWith.”

• Create an item, French Fries.

• Choose “Dynamic Pricing” on the Pricing tab.

• Set the Base Price for the Fries at 2.00.

• Attach the Dynamic Pricing Rule FreeWith to the French Fries item.

• Attach the French Fries item as a modifier to your entrée items.

• When the item is sold on its own, it costs $2.00; when sold as a modifier to an entrée, it costs 0.00.

Dynamic Pricing example #2: It’s cheaper if you get the combo meal

In this example, snacks and drinks are discounted if sold with hamburgers.

1. Create a Dynamic Pricing Rule to specify that when drinks and snacks are sold as modifiers to hamburgers, a 20% discount applies. Name the rule, “ComboMeal.”

2. Create the rule with the following conditions:

IF(DCI(,HAMBURGERS) AND HASMOD(,DRINKS) AND HASMOD(,SNACKS),DISCOUNT(20))

IF(DCI(,DRINKS) AND ISMOD(,HAMBURGERS) AND SHAREMOD(,SNACKS),DISCOUNT(20))

IF(DCI(,SNACKS) AND ISMOD(,HAMBURGERS) AND SHAREMOD(,DRINKS),DISCOUNT(20))

3. Associate the Dynamic Pricing Rule ComboMeal to your hamburgers, drinks, and snacks items/modifiers. These items can have a base price, but follows the discounting behavior outlined by the Dynamic Pricing Rule if sold as the conditions above dictate: Hamburgers modified by both Drinks and Snacks are discounted.
