From the Prices tab, you can view and maintain fixed prices associated with the menu.
Description: A description of the price, e.g.:
- Competitive Pricing
- Fleet Pricing
- Rapid Fit Pricing
- Retail price
- Smile price
Price: The total fixed price including VAT. The fixed prices that you see here are the standard retail prices, which are not necessarily the same as the prices displayed in POS because other factors come into play in POS, such as parts/labour discounts for the selected account and special stock promotions. Also, the figure shown does not contain the price of additional items or the price of fluids mapped in Fluid Mapping. To this end, the prices are only really a guide and should not be quoted to customers.
