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.
