Promotions and Discounts

The NAOS Promotions Engine lets you create discount rules that are automatically applied at the point of sale based on conditions you define.

Promotion Types

Percentage Discount

Applies a percentage discount on products or categories.

• Example: 20% off beverages on Fridays.

Fixed Amount Discount

Reduces a fixed amount from the price.

• Example: $2.00 off burgers.

Quantity Promotion (Buy X Get Y)

Rewards volume purchases.

• Example: Buy 2 beers, get the 3rd free.

Combo

Groups products at a special price.

• Example: Burger + Fries + Soda = $8.99 (instead of $11.50).

Bundle (Package)

Similar to a combo but with optional products within a group.

• Example: Choose any appetizer + any drink for $12.99.

Application at the Point of Sale

Promotions are applied automatically when conditions are met:

1. The cashier adds products to the cart.
2. NAOS evaluates active promotions in real time.
3. If a condition is met, the discount appears reflected in the cart.
4. The cashier can see which promotion was applied to each item.

Manual Discounts

Manual discounts (per item or global) are also available from the sales screen for situations not covered by automatic promotions.
