Promo codes and automatic offers for restaurant online ordering
Offers on your own menu that bring diners back: a percentage or an amount off the whole order, a category or chosen dishes, automatic or by code, or free delivery on the whole order with a code. They run on the days and hours you set, and a simple automatic offer on dishes shows the old price crossed out on the menu.
Yoki Sushi in Baghdad takes 10% off its whole menu every day from 11:00 to 16:00, automatically.
Offers are on Plus, $49 a location a month, with 0% commission on every order.
