The Pricing tab holds what an item costs the guest, and what it costs you. One Base price is enough for most dishes. A dish that costs more on delivery, or less at happy hour, can have a price of its own at each price level.

Before you start

  • You need Items, Edit in your back office access group.
  • To give a dish a price per price level, the levels must exist: Menu, Price Levels.

Open the tab

  1. In the menu, under MASTERS, click Menu, then Items.
  2. Click the item's code (or + New item).
  3. Click the Pricing tab.

The tab, part by part

The Pricing tab: three prices, two ticks, and a price per price level.
  1. Pricing: the item's third tab.
  2. Base price: the price the guest pays wherever no other price is set: an outlet, or a price level below, can have a price of its own for the dish. Grey while Cashier keys the price is ticked.
  3. Cost price: what one costs you, for the profit in the reports. Up to four decimal places. On a dish tracking stock that has been on the working outlet's shelf, the line under it gives the stock's average cost and how many are on hand; with more than one outlet it names the outlet: Average cost from stock at IPH: 5.35 (40 on hand). Receiving goods changes the average, never this box.
  4. Minimum price: the lowest the price may go, through a discount or a price the cashier keys. Leave it empty for no floor.
  5. Cashier keys the price: the POS asks for the price each time the dish is added, for fish at market price or a charge that changes. The Base price is then not used.
  6. Sold by weight / measure: the dish is sold by the kilo, the 100 g, the litre… Its quantity may be a fraction, such as 0.45.
  7. Price levels: one row per price level of your restaurant.
  8. An empty box: no price of its own at this level. The base price shows in it faintly: that is what the level charges.
  9. Clear: empties the level's price, so it follows the base price again.
  10. The rule: a blank level falls back to the base price.

If you have no price level yet, the tab says No price levels configured. under Price levels.

Change the price of a dish

  1. Type the new Base price, for example 15.90.
  2. Check the price levels: a level with its own price keeps it. Change it too if it should follow, or press Clear so it uses the base price.
  3. Click Save.

Every POS takes the new price at its next contact with the cloud.

Give a dish another price at a price level

  1. In Price levels, find the level, for example GRAB — Grab.
  2. Type its price in the box: 16.90.
  3. Click Save.

The dish costs 16.90 wherever the Grab level is in use. Which level is in use is chosen elsewhere: on an outlet, a table, an order type, a QR profile, the kiosk or a member level. See Price Levels.

A price the cashier keys

  1. Tick Cashier keys the price. Base price turns grey.
  2. If a discount must never take it below a figure, type it in Minimum price.
  3. Click Save.

At the POS the dish shows no price on its button, and asks for one each time it is added. On the Items list its Price cell says Open. See Open-price dishes.

Sold by weight

  1. Tick Sold by weight / measure.
  2. Type the Base price of one unit, for example the price of one kilo.
  3. Click Save.

The line on the bill is the weight times the price. Whether the POS asks for the weight the moment the dish is picked, with Read scale where it has a scale, is the POS's terminal setting Ask the weight when a sold-by-weight item is picked. Off, the dish goes on at 1 and the weight is typed on its line. See Dishes sold by weight.

The Member registration fee item

On the Member registration fee item the Base price is locked, with the line The price is the registration fee set in Member > Settings. Change the fee there. Its Cost price is yours to set.
