Restaurant promotions and Boost, built to fill slow hours

Staff are on, ovens are warm and nobody is in. A blanket discount fills the room once and trains your regulars to wait for the next one. A deal with edges works better: a set day, a set window, a short list of dishes, a cap on how many and a limit for each guest.

A promotion is a deal guests buy or claim, then redeem with a ticket: a bundle at one price, a percentage off, an amount off, a free item. You add the dates, how many are available, a limit for each guest, the days and hours it can be used and any blackout dates.

A Deal Hour is a price rule that applies itself inside a window. Pick the days and times, then a percentage, an amount off or a set price, on the whole menu or named dishes. The discount comes off at checkout while the window is open, online and at the till, and nobody needs to remember a code.

When several things apply, they go in a fixed order: the Deal Hour first, then a membership benefit, a loyalty reward, a promotion ticket and a voucher. Each is worked out on what the one before left, so the total is the same every time.

A paid promotion for named items is a prepaid sale of those items, so it is taxed when it is bought, the way an event ticket is. The price is tax-exclusive and your state's sales tax is added on top, priced on each item's own class. The ticket carries a note that the tax is already paid, so using it later adds no second tax.

A dollar credit is different. It is sold untaxed and taxed by you when the guest spends it. Mosey shows the tax as one block in the guest's review before they pay.

Boost is a paid send. Pick something you made on Mosey (a promotion, an event, a special, a voucher, a dish, a menu) and choose who hears about it: your followers, your paying members and guests nearby who agreed to nearby offers. The estimate shows how many people each group reaches and who is left out. You see the price before you pay, and nothing is charged until you confirm.

A push has a short title and a short message, and tapping it opens the offer in the app. Quiet hours and the daily cap on offers a guest receives are respected, so a push that would land at two in the morning waits. A campaign never writes to the same person twice.

The results tab shows sends, opens and taps, and counts the orders, payments and bookings that followed within 48 hours, crediting the latest message from you. You set a daily and a monthly spending limit, or pause every paid send at once.

What Mosey is about

• Affordable tools for food businesses

  Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.

• A full suite, in one login

  The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.

• You keep more of your revenue

  Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.

• Free to list and claim

  Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.

• No hidden fees

  What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.

• Made for local food businesses

  Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.
