Apply a discount

Take money off a whole order, one seat, or selected items, with a named discount or a typed percent or dollar amount.

You can discount a whole order, one seat, or just certain items. Each way opens the same discount window.

The discount window: percent or dollar pad on the left, named discounts on the right

#Discount the whole order

1. In the order, with nothing selected on the ticket, tap Discount in the bottom row.
2. Pick a discount (see below).

The discount shows in green under the items, and in Discounts in the totals.

#Discount some items

1. Tap the item(s) on the ticket to select them.
2. Tap Discount in the item buttons. The window is called Item Discount.
3. Pick a discount.

The discount shows in green under each item.

#Discount one seat

Press and hold the seat's square on the ticket, then tap Discount. Every item on that seat is selected for you. See Seats.

#Pick a discount

Named discounts are the blue buttons on the right. Each shows its name and its amount. Tap one and it's applied.

Typing your own (if your restaurant allows it):

1. The square button beside the amount box picks % or $. Tap it to switch.
2. Type the amount. Use . for cents or a part of a percent.
3. Tap OK.

To take a discount off: open the same window again and tap Remove.

#When a manager has to approve it

• Secure named discounts need the Discounts permission.
• Typing your own amount needs the Open Discounts permission.

If you don't have the permission, you'll see An override is required to perform this function. A manager types their PIN and the discount goes on.

#Good to know

• This item is not discountable: some items are set to never take a discount. If you select a mix, the discount goes on the items that can take one and skips the rest.
• If you only see the named buttons and no number pad, your restaurant has typed-in discounts turned off.
• A surcharge or gratuity is different from a discount. Gratuity is under Tips.
