4 Discount by Breakdown Category The discounting functions in Menumate POS have been expanded to enable discounts to be applied to a category/range of items. A category is created in Menumate Office and then all items that the discount can be applied to are assigned this category in the Breakdown Category sections. The discount is then setup and the filter of the category is assign to it. This can be a good way of restricting how the staff discount can be applied. 4 P age
