The short answer

How does automatic happy hour work?

You set a period with its days and times, and during that window the till applies your offer to eligible items automatically.

Each happy-hour line is marked on the order, so staff and guests can see the special was applied. Run as many periods as you need, each with its own offer, and switch any of them off when you like.

Offer types

Four offer types cover the specials most venues run.

Buy one, get one free

The second item is added free, offered at the till automatically.

Percent off

A set percentage off each eligible item during the window.

Dollar amount off

A set dollar amount off each eligible item during the window.

Fixed happy-hour price

At the till

How does buy one get one free work at the till?

When a staff member adds an eligible drink, the till offers the free second one, matched to the same modifier.

So a free second drink matches the first, down to the option chosen, and staff don’t have to work out what qualifies.
