Quick answer: In the Nomni Ordering console go to Specials > Special Deals, click New Deal and tick Buy X get cheapest free. Add the products customers can choose in Step 2 - Products, set availability in Step 3 - Availability and save. At checkout the cheapest item's base price is taken off; add-ons and size extra charges are still charged.

This guide is for the Nomni Ordering console. Your console address ends in /console, for example yourstore.orderup.com.au/console. It is not the Nomni POS online store.

Example: Buy any 4 main meals and get the cheapest free.

Before you start

  • Who: a console user who can create special deals.

  • Category: the deal must sit in a menu category whose Category Type is Specials Category. Create it first in Menu > Menu Categories.

Step 1 - Details

  1. Go to Specials > Special Deals and click New Deal.

  2. Tick Buy X get cheapest free.

  3. Fill in Name, Description, PLU (only for POS-integrated stores) and Category.

  4. Set Activate Deal, For Sale, Free Delivery and Not in Conjunction (YES stops coupon codes being used with this deal).

  5. Optional: open Deal Image or Symbols to add an image or dietary symbols.

  6. Click Step 2 >.

Step 2 - Products

  1. Click Add Selection Group.

  2. Enter a Group Label (customers see it) and the number of Selections, for example 4.

  3. Choose a Category and Product. Choosing a category with all products lets customers pick any product from it. Use Add Item to add specific products, sizes or variations.

  4. Go to Step 3 - Availability.

Step 3 - Availability

  1. Choose the days and times the deal is available.

  2. Choose the ordering methods (Pickup, Delivery, Dine In, Room Service).

  3. Save the deal.

What you should see: the deal shows in the Specials category on your online menu. When a customer completes it, the cheapest item's base price is set to $0.00. Add-ons, modifiers and size extra charges on that item are still charged.

If something goes wrong

  • The deal does not show online: check Activate Deal and For Sale are YES, the day, time and method in Step 3 match, and the category is active and for sale.

  • A deal made in All Locations can't be deleted from one store: select All Locations/Global in the location selector to edit or delete it.
