Use Events to establish special pricing for use during specific times of the day, such as Happy Hour, on a specific day of the week, such as every Sunday, or for a specific date range, such as the month of April. First, define when each event is to occur, and then access each of the items subject to the special pricing and designate which events apply to the item and at what price you wish to sell the item during the event time frame. For events enabled with a starting and ending date, the system places a green check mark in the corresponding active column. Active events without a starting and ending date have a black check mark under the corresponding active column.
