3.9.2 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 Discount
Setup\Main.
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 Department 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 Discount Setup\Main.
An Item Discount applies only to the selected item entered on the check.
The item can be a specific Menu Item or any item of a specific Department.
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 Discount Setup\Options 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.

NO – after a discount has been applied, additional discounts can be

entered and applied to the same items.
