Consumption Types
Consumption types define how customers consume your products ("Dine-in", "Takeaway", "Delivery"). At least one consumption type must be assigned.
Important Notes
-
Minimum Requirement: At least one consumption type must be assigned
-
Tax Relevance: Consumption types can have different VAT rates (e.g., Dine-in and Takeaway in Germany)
-
Price Relevance: Consumption types are the basis for price levels (see next section)
Price Levels
Price levels allow you to set different prices for your items depending on consumption type, day of the week, or time of day. This enables flexible pricing strategies such as happy hour promotions, weekend pricing, or different prices for delivery and pickup.
Prerequisite
Before you can use price levels, you must define consumption types (see previous section).
Simple Installation Without Price Levels
For simple installations without different prices, it's sufficient to define only the consumption types. In this case, you can distinguish between different consumption types (e.g., "Dine-in" vs. "Takeaway"), but only the item's standard price will be used.
Working with Price Levels
Once you activate price levels, you can define different prices for the same consumption type – depending on time periods, weekdays, or times of day.

Configuration Options for Price Levels
Priority and Order
The order of price levels defines the priority when multiple price levels of the same consumption type are active simultaneously. The price level with higher priority (higher up in the list) will be applied.
Example: You have two price levels for "Dine-in":
-
Price level 1: Weekend pricing (Saturday-Sunday)
-
Price level 2: Happy hour (daily 5-7 PM)
On Saturday at 6 PM, both time periods apply. The sales point uses the price level with higher priority.
Validity Period (optional)
Define a time-limited promotion period:
-
Start date: When the price level becomes active
-
End date: When the price level expires
Use case: Christmas market promotion from December 1, 2025 to December 24, 2025
Weekdays (optional)
Select individual weekdays (Monday through Sunday) when the price level should be active.
Use case: Weekend pricing only on Saturday and Sunday
Time Range (optional)
Define a daily time span:
-
From (time): Start time of the price level
-
To (time): End time of the price level
Use case: Happy hour daily from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM
Status Display of Price Levels
After saving, the sales point displays the status of each price level:
-
✅ Green Checkmark: Price level is correctly configured and active
-
❌ Red X: Price level is inactive (e.g., because the assigned consumption type doesn't exist or was deleted)

Important Notes on Price Levels
-
Minimum requirement: At least one consumption type must be assigned
-
Priority rule: In case of conflicts, the order of price levels determines which is applied
-
Standard price: If no price level is active, the item's standard price is used
-
Unlimited quantity: You can create as many price levels as needed
-
Combination: All three optional parameters (validity period, weekdays, time range) can be combined
Price Levels on Sub-Terminals
Sub-terminals (secondary sales points) can either use their own price levels or inherit the price levels from the main sales point.
Default Behavior
When no price levels are defined for the sub-terminal:
-
The sub-terminal automatically inherits the price levels from the main sales point
-
All time-dependent prices and consumption types from the main sales point apply to the sub-terminal
Assign Custom Price Levels
To customize the pricing behavior of a sub-terminal:
-
Open Locations → Sales Points → Select the desired sub-terminal
-
Navigate to the Display tab
-
Define the desired consumption types (if different from the main sales point)
-
Create custom price levels for this terminal
-
Save the settings
Use Case
Scenario: Restaurant with main sales point at entrance and sub-terminal on the patio
Main Sales Point:
-
Happy hour Mon-Fri 5:00-7:00 PM (indoor area)
-
Standard consumption type: "Dine-in"
Sub-Terminal (Patio):
-
Custom price level: Patio pricing Sat-Sun all day (+10% surcharge)
-
Custom consumption type: "Patio"
Through separate assignment, the patio can operate with its own prices, while without assignment, the main sales point’s prices would automatically apply.
