Buckets of beer with different prices

BurtonEagles — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 15:16:46 GMT

I'm trying to figure out a way to be able to ring up a bucket of beer with various beers that have different prices and discount it by $1 for the bucket. I need to be able to choose the individual beers for inventory purposes. Any ideas?

Hi @BurtonEagles, here is one way to do this.

Let's say the average beer you serve is 5.00. You would create an Item called "Bucket of Beer" for $5.00. Then create modifiers for each variety of beer; each modifier could have an additional cost. (ex. bucket of beer = $5, Bud Light modifier = $2. Total price = $7.00).

Then you could create a Discount that takes $1 off the "Bucket of Beer" Item.

The tricky part here comes to the Inventory. Modifiers don't report to inventory the same way as items, but they do have their own report called the " Modifier Details Report"

This is just one idea of a way you might set this up. Links below for Discount setup, modifier setup, and reporting help!

I did this by using Size Pricing, BTL - $X, Bucket - $XX
