Customer default pricing

You can assign a default pricing package to any customer:

If pricing isn't assinged, an operator chooses the package starting a session in TrueCafe Administrator, or a customer chooses the package starting a session in TrueCafe Client:

Only the "Public" packages are available for choosing.

Terminal pricing

You can use the terminal-dependent pricing feature if you need to change your base rate depending on the terminal type, e.g. general Internet terminal or fast gaming terminal.

Use the terminal settings to specify the price coeff of a terminal. Price coeff = 1 by default, which means the base pricing isn't changed for the terminal.

For example, if your basic rate is $5 per hour and the price rate of a terminal is 1.2, a customer is charged $5 * 1.2 = $6 per hour.

Discounts

You can use discounts to lower the price of any package. TrueCafe provides two types of discounts:

total - decreases the price of any service
service specific - decreases the price of the specified services only

Public services

A service marked as "Public", such as printing, scanning, etc., can be added to a customer session (terminal popup menu, the "Sell" item):
