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

Pre Text – The name of the abbreviation
Auto Price – The amount that will be added to the items base price for that price level
Pricing Type – Either percentage or a monetary amount
Make a selection for the auto price. If the price of the item is 1.50 and you have the auto price for price level 1 set to 1.00 and the pricing type set to “Total Adjustment” then when you press “Auto Fill Prices” it will set price level 1 for the item to be 2.50. That is the original price of 1.50 + the Auto Price setting of 1.00
If the pricing type is set to percentage then it would set price level 1 of the item to be 1% higher than the price of the item
