Check Adjustments

3.11.2 Add a Discount or Surcharge

Notes

Dollar or Percent

Discounts can be programmed to adjust the check by either a dollar amount or a percentage amount using the PERCENT option in the Discount Setup table.

Discount Tax Status

For a discount to apply to a menu item, the discount must be set to the same tax status as the menu item.

A menu item’s tax status is set by its Category and the Order Type under which the check is entered.

Discount or Surcharge

A discount can be programmed as a surcharge with the SVC CHARGE option, so the amount is added to the check rather than subtracted.

Item or Subtotal

A discount is set as an Item or Subtotal discount with the ITEM DISC option in the Discount Setup table.

An Item Discount applies only to the previous item entered on the check. The item can be a specific Menu Item or any item of a specific Category.

A Subtotal or ticket Discount applies to all items on the check that are discountable. Items discountable are those set to the same Tax status as the discount.

Reset Totals Flag on Subtotal Discounts

Keep in mind that any discount will only apply to Menu Items set to the same tax status as the discount.

The RESET TOTALS flag in the Discount table determines the amount of each item that is available for discounting after a discount has already been applied to the item.

YES – after a discount has been applied to items, further discounting of those items is not allowed.
