Discounts and coupons are a great way to motivate a customer to visit your restaurant and/or try using your Online Order. Here are a few examples of marketing approaches in which you can use discounts to grow your business:
Discounts are created within the Orderspoon dashboard. You are able to set:
How to Set-up a Discount
To create a discount with a coupon code:
Login to your Orderspoon Dashboard
Click on Discount
Click on Create Discount
Enter a Discount "Name"
Use a name that describes the amount, type, or audience of the coupon. This name will be visible to the customer on the receipt. Example: 20 Percent Off for New Customers
Enter a coupon "Code"
This is the code your customers will enter at the checkout page to apply the discount
Set Discount Type
Order: All items in the customers' order qualify for the discount
Set a Start Date

Set a start date and time
Set an End Date

Set Discount Type
Percentage
Enter a % amount in the "Discount Amount" field
You can also set a Maximum discount amount "Max. discount". It limits the discount to a maximum amount. e.g. 10% off on $150 order would normally be $15 off, but can be limited to $10
Fixed
Enter a $ amount in the "Discount Amount" field
Set Discount For
"First User" is for 1st time customer
"Any User" is for 1st time customer or repeat customers
Set How Many Times Can a Customer Use This Coupon
Defines how many times the coupon can be used by one customer
"Once" A given customer can only use this discount once. Customer profiles are identified based on their phone number
"Multiple Times", no limit to how many times a customer can use the discount
Set Min. sub-total amount
Discount is not applied unless order sub-total exceeds entered amount
Tracking the number of times a discount has been used is visible in the Orderspoon dashboard. Access the discount in question from the "Discount List" and view the # of times it has been used.
Create a Discount Link
If your discount is setup for "All Order Types" and "Any User", then you can create a Discount Link. This discount link creates a URL (web address). Customers can access the URL and have the discount auto-applied to their order, assuming the order meets all of the discount parameters.
To create a discount link:
Login to your Orderspoon Dashboard
Click on Discount
Click on Discount List
Locate the appropriate Discount
Click on Create Link
You can use this URL to direct customers to your Orderspoon store with the discount code auto-applied.
An even faster method to direct customers to a URL is to create a QR code.
There are lots of free QR code generators available on the web. A QR code generator creates a QR image for a specific URL. When this QR image is scanned by a mobile device, it will direct the customer to that specific URL.
This website offers free QR codes with no ads embedded into it. https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/
