Overview

Price levels allow you to set up to 10 different prices for a Menu Item that you can use to be the price of that item from various parts of the system. For example, you can create a happy hour promotion that charges a particular price level from 7-8PM every day. Or you can discount a menu item to change it to a particular price level


Price levels can also be used when you have multiple sites. You can set the store to charge a specific price level for each of its items


When creating an item the price level will default to -1any promotions using price level of -1 will be ignored
