If you’ve ever wanted to run highly targeted promotions—like offering a discount on pints without discounting half-pours, tasters, or growlers—we’ve just made your life easier.
We’re excited to introduce Option Group Tagging, a powerful enhancement that gives you precise control over how cart rules apply at the item-level and the modifier-level. Whether you're running taproom specials, offering size-based pricing incentives, or building more nuanced menu logic, this update helps you deliver the exact experience you intend—automatically.
How to Use Option Group Tagging
You’ve asked for more flexibility around promotions and cart logic, especially when the same product can be served in multiple sizes or variations. Option Group Tagging lets you apply rules only when specific options are selected, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and total control.
This means:
- No more one-size-fits-all cart rules
- No more accidental discounts
- No more manual oversight at the POS
Just clean, predictable automation at scale.
How Option Group Tagging Works
Here’s a real example from our latest update:
You want to give $1 off pints of an IPA—but only the pint size, not the half-pint or the growler. With Option Group Tagging, it’s easy:
Step 1: Create your cart rule (e.g., “$1 Off Pints”).
Step 2: Assign a tag (like “pint”) to the specific option within the option group.
Step 3: Leave other options untagged, such as half-pint, taster, or growler.
Step 4: When a guest selects a pint, the cart rule automatically applies. If a team member changes it to a different size, the discount instantly disappears—no need for extra buttons, overrides, or reminders.
When the IPA is added at the POS, your staff is prompted to pick a size. If “pint” is selected, the system recognizes the tagged option and applies the discount. If “half-pint” is selected instead, the discount is removed automatically. It’s dynamic, accurate, and completely customizable.
Even More Ways to Use GoTab Option Group Tagging
Option Group Tagging unlocks a wide range of possibilities, allowing operators to target promotions or logic not just by product, but by choice within a product. You can now design rules based on:
- Size-based pricing (pints vs. half-pours vs. tasters)
- Premium add-ons (top-shelf liquor, specialty toppings, gluten-free upcharges)
- Daypart-specific offers
- Bundled experiences tied to specific options
- Percentage-based or fixed-dollar discounts
The cart rule creation process stays the same—you simply attach tags where they matter.
Where Option Group Tagging is Available
Option Group Tagging is enabled for locations that have already migrated to the newest version of Option Groups. If your venue hasn’t transitioned yet, reach out to your GoTab representative to get onboarded.
A More Precise, More Powerful Menu
This is just one of many enhancements designed to give operators deeper flexibility without adding complexity to your team’s workflow. With Option Group Tagging, promotions work exactly the way you’ve envisioned.
