Price Modes Explained #

Overview

This lesson explains different Price Modes that can be Added within Bepoz so that same product can be charged differently according to Customer Type, Promotional Schemes and/or Order Type

Overview

  • Bepoz System allows the operators to use different Price Modes for the same product depending on the transaction type

  • These Price Modes can vary the cost of products depending upon individual Stores, Venues, Promotion Type etc.


Prerequisites

Global/Venue Settings

  • By Default Price Modes are turned off however these can be activated via the System Flags section within each venue'

  • If ON, pricemodes can be used for each PriceNumber

  • Prices can be set as an amount or percentage difference of the original price etc.

  • If OFF, all prices are simple price amounts that are used instead of the original price

  • Price Modes are shown within a product in the column to the right of the price/value


Price Modes

Use This Price

  • This is the default setting

  • it means the system should simply use the price as set in the Price Column as the selling price

Use Base Price

  • If this is a redirected price (as set in the store Setup) then use the price as set in the original PriceNumber and the Original store as the selling price

  • For this price mode Operators will first need to configure a Price Redirect within the Store Maintenance

  • Below is an example of a Store with Price Redirects configured, in this case Price Numbers 2, 3, & 4 Redirect to Price Number 1

  • An example is shown below where the Base price of the product is $7.50

  • This mode is often used within a Table or account scenario e.g. when the same price should be used but a service charge is required

Percent Discount

  • This is usually not a recommended way of offering a discount as this has limited reporting

  • It is advised that either an account or a product promo is set to apply the discount

  • An example is shown below where the product is subjected to 50% discount

  • This mode is often used within a Table or account scenario

Discount

  • This is not a recommended way of offering a discount as this has limited reporting

  • It is advised that either an account or a product promo is set to apply the discount

  • An example is shown below where the product is sold at a discounted price of $2

Zero Price

  • The Zero Price Mode will Ignore the Price setup and sell the product at zero price

  • This can be set for condiment products that are usually sold free of charge

Ask Price Auto Cost

  • It is recommenced that if this functionality is required then the below option "Last Cost Plus" is used as a more secure option

  • Disregard any price setup and simply ask for a selling price at the SmartPOS

  • Then the price field is used as the percentage of the selling price to use as the cost of the product

Last Cost Price

  • The price field is used as the percentage to add to the LAST COST to use as the selling price of the product

  • The example below shows that

    • the cost price is $2

    • Price Mode is set to Last cost Plus and the amount field is at 10

  • This means that the system will Add 10% to the Cost price to create the Sale Price

Use Price No Tax

  • This is the same as USE THIS PRICE however the tax is set to NO TAX

Pro Rata Size Price

  • The price field is actually set as the the Number of the price and units to Prorata to get the selling price

  • This enables setting decimal placed prices

  • E.g. Size 2 = 100 items @ $100

    • size 1 is 1 item @ 0.02 pricemode = PRORATA SIZE PRICE (@ 0.02 = Size2)

    • the selling price for size 1 will be $1
