A Price Rule is a Location-specific set of user-defined parameters to determine which Price Level is used for Menu Items by Revenue Center based on Order Type and Day Part. Per Price Rule, each Order Type is assigned a Default Price Level. Additional Price Levels are optionally selected to supersede the Default Price Level for each Day Part within each Order Type. In this way, Menu Items with multiple Price Levels achieve variable pricing.

By setting a Default Price Level for each Order Type, the same price does not need to be repeatedly defined for each Order Type and Day Part. For Example, a Menu Item with consistent pricing across all Day Parts and Order Types only needs a single price defined for the Default Price Level.

Similarly, Menu Items that do not have a value defined for an Order Type’s Default Price Level are only available on the POS when defined Price Levels are applied by the Price Rule. For example, a Menu Item only offered during Brunch would only have a price defined for the Brunch Price Level. The item appears greyed out on the POS during Day Parts when a Price Level is not defined (see Why is a Menu Item Unavailable?). This prevents items from being inadvertently ordered during meal periods in which they are not available.

See SALIDO Variable Pricing: An Overview for more details on configuration.
