Openfront Restaurant already includes discount and gift-card models, plus admin screens for managing them. The important detail is that the two are not equally finished.

Gift cards are further along

Gift cards already have:

• a GiftCard model with value and balance
• a GiftCardTransaction model for the ledger
• admin management screens
• lookup and redemption support inside the POS payment flow
• support for partial payment against the remaining balance on a check

That makes gift cards more than just placeholder data.

Discounts are modeled, but not as wired through

Discounts already have:

• Discount and DiscountRule models
• admin list and detail pages
• reporting fields that can surface discount totals on orders

What they do not have yet is the same level of end-to-end restaurant-flow wiring that gift cards have. If you need fully automatic coupon application in storefront or staff payment flows, plan to finish that last mile before launch.

Practical read on the current state

• Gift cards: useful now
• Discount management: structurally present
• Discount automation: still needs more work
