Question
What types of discounts can I use for Toast Online Ordering?
Answer
Basic principles of discounts in Toast Online Ordering:
Requires a promo code to apply a discount
No manager permission settings
No auto-apply or open discounts
Note: Toast Retail items support the same discounts as menu items. Every discount type in the table below behaves the same way on a Toast Retail item as it does on a menu item. Some retailers also expect discounts that a brand or manufacturer funds and applies automatically. Toast does not support brand- or manufacturer-applied discounts today, and additional retail discount options are still in development.

Note: Bulk Discount (Min Quantity) is only available on Fixed discounts that are scoped to Check level. Item-level Fixed discounts cannot use Bulk Discount – the Min Quantity option only appears once the discount's scope is set to Check. When Min Quantity is met, Toast Online Ordering counts the total quantity of that item across every cart line, not just one line – so if a guest adds the same item to their cart more than once as separate lines, those quantities still add up toward the threshold.
Can I create a promo code that isn't advertised on my Toast Online Ordering site?
You can create a promo code that is not advertised on your Toast Online Ordering site. A promo code appears on your online ordering menu only if you select Display on Menus under the Advertise column when you set up the code.
To keep a code private (for example, for friends and family), leave Display on Menus unselected and share the code directly with the guests who should use it. Guests enter the code in the Promotional Code box at checkout.
To limit how many times a code can be used, see Use Single-Use Promotion Codes. For setup steps, see Set Up a Discount Code for Online Orders.
