With the Happy Hours feature, you can easily attract more customers during times when your business is not fully occupied. You can automatically apply time-limited discounts and promotions at specific times of the day on selected days, avoiding errors when marking items at the register.
Examples of Use:
- Every Friday between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM, all cocktails are 50% off.
- All baked goods with a 30% discount one hour before the bakery’s closing time.
- Taco Tuesday! Every Tuesday, all tacos are just 150 CZK!
To use Happy Hours for sales in the Storyous app on your device, you must first create them in the admin panel.
Happy Hours in Web Admin
-
Select the Businesses section from the top navigation bar. In the left menu, select Happy Hours. If you haven't offered any special discounts yet, an informational popup will appear. Click the red + New Happy Hours button to create a new rule for Happy Hours.
-
In the first step, name your Happy Hours rule (Happy Hours Name) and select the Discount Type (it can either be a percentage or a fixed amount). Then, specify the time of day (From – To) and the days (Active on Days) when the discount will apply.
| Important: For a percentage discount, the system will remember the percentage discount that is applied to the products. If you change the original price of the product in the future, the Happy Hours price will be adjusted accordingly (e.g., a 50% discount on a cocktail will be calculated based on the new price). However, if you set a fixed price in the future, the Happy Hours price will remain the same (e.g., the cocktail will keep the fixed Happy Hours price of 90 CZK). |
In the Products section, select the Product Category to which the discount applies (you can either select individual products or an entire category at once).
In the Price Adjustment section, you can further adjust the discount, either percentage or fixed. You will also see the Regular Price of the product, which applies outside of Happy Hours. In the top-right corner, you can activate or deactivate Happy Hours, for example, based on seasonal needs.
| Note: If you choose a discount for the entire category, you can only apply a percentage discount. A new fixed price can also be set for individual products. If you modify the fixed price, the percentage discount will be recalculated and vice versa. |
Clicking the Create button saves the Happy Hours. This will take you to the Happy Hours list.
In the list, you will see each Happy Hours event (Happy Hours Name), the times and days they are active (Active Time / Active Days), and whether they are Active or Inactive. You can edit them using the pencil icon on the right, and delete them completely using the trash can icon. Multiple Happy Hours discounts can be applied to a single product.
| Note: Happy Hours not only allows discounts but also the option to increase the price of a product at a certain time. |
Happy Hours at the Register
Once Happy Hours starts, the prices of selected products will automatically change. These products will be marked with a green background and a Clock Icon next to the price, indicating that the Happy Hours price is active. In the product details, you can see the time when the Happy Hours price is active. Once the Happy Hours promotion ends, the products will automatically return to their original price.
