myPOS Feature Focus: Pricing, Promotions & Countdown 86

myPOS Feature Focus: The Right Item. The Right Price. The Right Promotion.

A great POS should do more than ring up sales. It should help your team serve customers, manage availability, apply the right prices and keep the whole operation moving.

The new TallOrder POS brings those jobs together. It combines a fast, intuitive checkout with practical tools for managing tables, products, pricing, promotions and business performance. Whether you run a restaurant, bar, café, retail store or lodge, myPOS helps your team handle the details of every sale while giving managers a clearer view of what’s happening.

Here are three features that make it easier to adapt your POS to the way your business works.

Know What’s Available with Countdown 86

When a popular dish or product is running low, the last thing you need is to keep selling it after it’s gone.

Countdown 86 lets you set a quantity for selected items and track availability as they’re sold. It’s especially useful for limited specials, prepared dishes, daily batches or products with a set quantity. As the team processes sales, the remaining quantity counts down, helping staff see what’s still available and avoid disappointing customers with something that has already sold out.

For a restaurant, that could mean keeping track of a limited lunch special or a batch of freshly prepared meals. In retail, it can help monitor a small run of items or a limited promotion. It gives the front-of-house team a clearer picture of availability and helps managers keep better control over what’s being offered.

Put the Right Price in Place with Price Books

Different customers, locations and occasions can call for different prices. With Price Books, you can create pricing for occasions such as happy hour, VIP customers, loyalty members, delivery platforms, specific locations or promotional events.

You can schedule price changes and switch between Price Books when needed, without creating duplicate menus. That makes it easier to plan a lunch special, manage location-specific pricing or prepare a seasonal offer while keeping your menu organised.

Instead of maintaining separate versions of the same menu, your team can work from one set of products with the relevant prices applied through the selected Price Book. Managers can plan ahead and make changes more efficiently, while staff can focus on serving customers with confidence that the correct prices are in place.

Make Promotions Work for You

Promotions give customers a reason to buy, return or try something new. TallOrder POS supports automatic discounts that can be configured around criteria such as quantity, customer type, sale value, day of the week or time of day.

That gives you flexibility to create offers that fit your business. You could set up a deal for customers buying a certain quantity, run a time-based special during quieter hours or offer different pricing to a particular customer group. Once the promotion rules are configured, the POS can apply the relevant discount during the sale, reducing the need for staff to calculate offers manually.

Promotions can also work alongside your wider pricing strategy. Price Books help you organise different price lists, while promotions let you apply specific discounts according to the rules you set. Together, they give you more ways to plan offers and manage how they’re used at the point of sale.

Built for the Way You Sell

Countdown 86, Price Books and promotions are only part of what the new myPOS can do. It also gives your team tools to keep service moving and helps managers stay connected to daily operations.

  • Clear floor plans: Create a visual layout of your restaurant, café, bar or venue so staff can see tables and sections at a glance.
  • Flexible tabs and bill splitting: Split bills by seat, item or amount, move items between guests, and settle using different payment methods.
  • Live management tools: Use the Manager’s Console to view sales, open tables and staff activity, and keep an eye on discounts and voids.
  • Sales and stock connected: Pair myPOS with myStock to track stock across locations, manage reordering and get a clearer view of what’s moving.
  • Cloud-based visibility: Keep up with business activity and access key information without waiting until the end of the shift.
  • Connected payments and accounting: Integrate with supported payment and accounting tools to reduce manual steps and make reconciliation easier.

From a busy service to a planned promotion, myPOS gives your team practical tools to work faster and gives managers more visibility over what’s happening.
