Configuring Areas: Discounts Tab in NX Restaurant Portal
The Discounts tab in Area configuration allows operators to control which discounts are available to employees working in a specific area of the venue. This is helpful for aligning discount availability with workflows like table service, bar service, or takeout—where different rules and offers may apply.
Purpose of Discount Controls
By default, all venue-level discounts are available to employees in an area unless you specifically select and restrict them here.
Use this tab to:
- Limit access to specific discounts based on the area
- Reduce clutter in the discount selection screen
- Enforce discounting policies tied to service zones
How to Configure Discount Availability
To access this setting:
- Go to Configuration → Areas
- Select an area or create a new one
- Click the Discounts tab
You’ll see two columns:
- Available – All discounts created for the venue
- Selected – Discounts allowed in the current area
Managing Discount Visibility
Use the arrow buttons between the columns to move discounts from Available to Selected or vice versa:
- > Move a single discount to the selected list
- >> Move all available discounts
- < Remove a single discount from the selected list
- << Remove all discounts from the selected list
Use the up/down arrows on the right to reorder how discounts appear in the POS.
🔒 Only discounts listed under Selected will appear in the POS when working in this area. If none are selected, all venue discounts will be shown by default.
Use Cases
- Bar Area: Limit to happy hour or beverage-specific discounts
- Takeout Area: Restrict to flat-rate or limited-time promotions
- Dining Room: Allow full range of manager and item-level discounts
