Discounts will import automatically from Toast POS when a location is set up. We will provide more information soon on the limitations of this setting.

When a coupon is synced over from Toast to the Lunchbox Management Dashboard, you will need to Search & Edit the Coupon for your customer to use.

Searching for Coupons

Follow these steps to search for Existing Coupons:

Step 1: Navigate to the Coupons Tab

Step 2: Select any of the following Filters that might apply to the coupon you wish to find. Having these checked will only show coupons related to those options:

  • Description Search: description of the coupon (ex: BOGO fries)

  • Lookup CLU: enter the coupon CLU (case sensitive)

  • Location Restriction: if coupon was specific to a certain location

  • Sort Field: use these fields to sort the search results
