Configuring the Bonus Events Tab

Bonus events enable a member to earn additional credit toward a bonus plan through a bonus event. For example, you want to give members extra credit for coming in during your late night happy hour. You can double the reward, or even triple the reward. This enables you to offer special promotions to your members and generate traffic in your restaurant during slow times. It also enables you to offer bonus event promotions when you change your menu, or add new items to the menu.

Bonus events do not work with plans in which you select the option ‘Items only count once toward plan rewards’ on the General tab, such as Lottery-based plans or tour style Items-based plans.

Click the Bonus Events tab, to view the bonus events configured for the current bonus plan. Bonus events are specific to a bonus plan. You must create a bonus event for each bonus plan.
