Demo walkthrough from our Drive More Orders webinar (AppFront Growth Series).
Where to find it
Deals now live under Campaigns > Deals & Upsells in the portal. Click Add New to start building one.
Step 1: Choose discount or upsell, then a deal type
Discount types include:
Percentage off check (you can also cap the maximum discount amount, e.g., 10% off capped at $10, so a $500 cart doesn't trigger an oversized discount)
Amount off check
Items combo deal (e.g., buy one get one free, or buy one get one 50% off)
Group deal
Delivery discount (e.g., free delivery for life for a specific group)
Step 2: Set limitations
Minimum order total for the deal to kick in (e.g., 10% off only on carts $20+)
Whether a customer must be logged in — member-only or open to guests too
Step 3: Set availability
Locations — limit to specific stores
Serving options — pickup, delivery, or both
Platforms — app-only deals are a great way to drive app downloads, since push notifications only reach app users
User group — target a specific segment
Available hours — specific days/times the deal is live
Step 4: Promo codes
Promo codes are not case-sensitive — "WEBINAR," "webinar," and "Webinar" all apply the same discount.
Step 5: Display & POS sync
You can choose to display the deal at the top of your menu. The "send discount to POS" toggle is usually left on — but turn it off if the discounted price is already programmed into your POS as time-specific pricing (e.g., a Taco Tuesday item that's already $5 in the POS for that window). Leaving it on in that case would double the discount; turning it off lets the deal simply showcase a price that's already live in your POS.
Upsells
Upsells use the same builder. Choose manual combination (you pick the specific items to suggest) or AI Automatic (the system suggests based on order data). Upsells don't need a discount at all — they can be plain suggestions (e.g., "add guacamole and sour cream"). Add images to every upsell item; customers eat with their eyes first, even online.
Preview & activate
Use the Preview button to see exactly how the deal or upsell will appear at checkout before turning it on. A deal only goes live once you click both Enable and Publish.
