Introduction
Service Charges
A service charge is an amount added to the sales transaction for
a service performed. Service charges can be a dollar amount or a
percentage. Typical service charges include autogratuities,
delivery charges, and entertainment cover charges.
You can apply service charges manually by pressing a service
charge key. There are four types of service charges: two have
preset values: [Preset Amount $] and [Preset Percentage %].
Two others allow the employee to enter the value: [Open
Amount $] and [Open Percentage %].
Service Charge Itemizers
Service charge itemizers let you determine which items will
have service charges, what the charge is, and when the charge
is applied. These itemizers function much like discount
itemizers.
Automatic Service Charge
An automatic service charge is a percentage service charge that
can be automatically applied to guest checks, depending on
programming. There are two ways an auto service charge can be
programmed.
❏ It can automatically apply to all items that are set to be
included in that automatic service charge’s calculation. For
example, a 15% service charge could be applied to all checks
in the restaurant.
❏ It can apply to items that are set to be included in that
automatic service charge’s calculation only after you press
an [Auto Service Charge] key. For example, a 15% service
charge could be applied to checks that have parties of 8 or
more. You would be responsible for applying the service
charge to these checks by pressing the [Auto Service
Charge] key before printing each check.
