The Z-Cloud RMS provides a robust system for managing discounts and promotions, allowing restaurants to implement various promotional strategies and attract customers. The software supports two main types of promotions: discount promotions and "Buy X Get Y" promotions. Discount promotions can be set up as either a flat amount or a percentage discount. For example, a restaurant could offer a $5 discount on a specific menu item or a 10% discount on all orders over a certain amount. "Buy X Get Y" promotions allow restaurants to offer a free item when a customer purchases a specified quantity of another item. For instance, a restaurant could run a promotion where customers who buy two pizzas get a free garlic bread. When setting up promotions, users can define the start and end dates, ensuring that the promotion is active only during the desired period. A notable feature of Z-Cloud RMS is the automatic application of promotions in the POS system. When a customer orders an item that is part of an active promotion, the discount or free item is automatically applied to their order, streamlining the checkout process and reducing the risk of errors.

The Z-Cloud POS system provides a comprehensive promotion system that supports various types of discounts and promotions, including flat amount discounts, percentage discounts, and "Buy X Get Y" promotions. Here’s a detailed explanation of how the system handles discounts and promotions:

• Types of Promotions:
  • Discount Promotions: The system supports both flat amount and percentage discounts on items. For example, you can set a discount of $10 or 10% off an item.
  • "Buy X Get Y" Promotions: This type of promotion allows you to offer a free item or a discount on another item when a customer purchases a certain quantity of a specific item. For example, "Buy 2 pizzas, get 1 free soda."
• Promotion Setup:
  • Title: Each promotion needs a title for easy identification and management.
  • Date Range: Promotions can be set with a specific start and end date. The system will automatically apply the promotion only within this date range. Once the end date is reached, the system will automatically stop applying the promotion.
  • Food Menu Selection: Promotions can be applied to specific food menu items.
  • Discount Configuration: For discount promotions, you can specify whether the discount is a flat amount or a percentage.
  • "Buy X Get Y" Configuration: For "Buy X Get Y" promotions, you specify which item the customer needs to buy, the quantity they need to buy to be eligible for the promotion, the item they will receive, and the quantity they will receive.
  • Status: Promotions can be activated or deactivated as needed.
• Application in POS:
  • Automatic Application: Promotions are automatically applied when an item is added to the cart in the POS screen.
  • Promotion Indicator: Items with active promotions are easily identifiable in the POS screen.
  • Promo Button: There is a specific button on the POS screen that allows users to quickly view the items that currently have an active promotion.
• Example Scenarios:
  • If a food menu has a price of 30 and a discount of 15 is applied, the total price becomes 15.
  • When a "Buy X Get Y" promotion is applied, a free item is added to the cart automatically. The system will not allow you to remove the free item from the cart until you remove the main item which is required to trigger the promotion.
• Record Keeping:
  • The system keeps a record of all past promotions.
• Flexibility:
  • The system allows you to run multiple promotions on multiple items at the same time.

In summary, Z-Cloud provides a versatile system for managing discounts and promotions, offering multiple types of promotions, automatic application, and detailed tracking to enhance sales and customer engagement.
