Create additional promos for your restaurant or business using Promo Layers. Build several layers of promos to cover specific days and times to extend specific offers for your customers.

  • Note: Merchants must first create an item level promo before adding Promo Layers. See: Create Item Level Promos.

Merchants can create up to three promo layers in addition to the original promo. These are designated as Promo 2, Promo 3, and Promo 4.

Promo Layers allow merchants to create multiple promos during various times of the day, or for different days of the week. Consider the following example:

  • Example: For every day in July, a bar offers happy hour specials on pitchers of beer:

    • For Bud Light, $5 pitchers between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. (Promo 2), $6 pitchers between 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. (Promo 3), $7 pitchers between 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. (Promo 4).
    • For Yuengling, $7 pitchers between 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. (Promo2), $8 pitchers between 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. (Promo3), $7 pitchers between 7 p.m. – 8 p.m. (Promo4)
