The promotions are similar to the happy hour in that you can specify a
particular day or days of the week and a time range, for the promotion to
be active.
However the promotion is not automatically carried out like the happy
hour prices. Instead the date and time is checked and if it is valid then
the promotion can be given.

Once you have selected the active field to be prom and the days and
time span have been set,  you would  enter the promotion number
between 1 and 9, you now need to press the end key to accept these
settings this will bring the cursor back to the number at the beginning of
the line.
It is only after completing these details that you can enter the letter D to
bring up a sub menu of the promotion details.
You will see from this screen that a description can be entered, such as
5% discount or 10% service charge, this will be displayed and printed
on the customers bill.
The next field is the type, this will change between premium, discount or
mark down.
You are then asked for the value, this would entered as a percentage if
premium or discount had been selected, or an actual amount of money
if markdown had been selected.
The trip value refers to the value the transaction must reach, before the
promotion can be given.
For example you may not want to give discount unless 10 pounds is
spent, setting the trip value to 10 pounds will achieve this.
   
The next field is the analysis.
If the analysis is set to no then this promotion will be applied to all the
products that have been set as discountable in the product file area.
If the analysis is set to yes then the cursor will move to the individual
fields for selection these are:-
starters
main
dessert
