Configure Your First Discount Rule

🏷️ Tenant Admin Only

Learn how to set up discounts for your VIP card tiers.

What is it?

Discount rules (also called "perks") define what benefits each card tier gets. For example, Gold members might get 20% off drinks and $5 off cover charge.

Why you'd use it

Discounts incentivize customers to sign up for VIP cards and visit more often. Different tiers get different discounts to reward loyalty.

How to create a discount rule

  1. Click Perks in the sidebar
  2. Click the Add Perk Rule button in the top-right
  3. Fill in the details:
    • Card Tier: Select the tier this rule applies to (e.g., "VIP - Gold")
    • Locations: Select which venues this applies to (or "All Locations")
    • Cover Charge Discount %: Percentage off entry fee (e.g., 50 = half off) 💡 Tip: Enter 100 for free entry
    • Drink Discount %: Percentage off drinks (e.g., 20 = 20% off) 💡 Note: Applies to liquor, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks only — excludes bottle service
  4. Click Save

Success! This tier now has discounts at the selected locations.

Q: Can a tier have different discounts at different locations?

A: Yes! Create multiple perk rules for the same tier, each with different location selections and discount amounts.
