Additional Discount Settings to Limit them to specific categories/items

[longroadkyle]

It would be extremely helpful if we could designate specific categories or items that a discount can be applied to, without creating an automatic discount that applies to all guest-checks with the category or item during a time-period.

We have a weekly "mug-club" of sorts that only some guests participate in. Members receive half off cocktails and 25% off food on Wednesday nights only. The discount should only apply to their items and only on those specified categories.

The problem we face is that servers/bartenders will often apply a discount to a member check, not to specific items. Without having a way to designate only specific categories a discount can be applied to, it discounts ALL items from all categories on the check. This leads to improper discounting and stacking of discounts. 

I wish there were additional settings for individual discounts so they could only apply to some check items/categories. This is already a capability when setting up automatic discounts, so it doesn't seem like it would be much of a stretch for engineers. We've tried many workarounds, but have had no luck besides constant training and auditing of staff transactions.

I agree with this I tried setting a Discount where I applied a Group filter to a category and can not do it.  I can not say for example  :

Repeat customers get 20% discount off of a Category 28oz Candle.  

I do not want my repeat customers to get 20% off any item they buy but only the 28oz Candle catgory.  So yes some more setting or ability to apply already in place filters would be great!

I agree.  I’m not sure I see the logic behind restricting all of those advanced discount features to automatic discounts only.  They would be very useful in many situations in my shop.
