• Click on the “New” button.

This opens up a drawer containing required fields to be updated before an additional charge is created, this includes;

• Charge name: This is the title of the charge, what the charge would be called, which will be shown to customers on the receipt.

• Type: This is where to choose the nature of the charge. Charges can either be fixed, that is a fixed value is charged on specified orders. Percent, that is a certain percentage is charged on specified orders. Select which type of charge is being created from the dropdown.

• Value: When creating an additional charge, vendors should note that any charge that comes as a Tax charge, would be valued in percentages while other charges are a fixed value.

• Tax charge: The ‘Tax Charge’ check box is used to indicate if a charge is a tax. For taxes, the rate is charged per item and not on the total value. Taxes are also charged on all menu items except those marked as non taxable (Exclude from tax). When a tax or charge is included in the total price, this is indicated in the printed receipt.

• Include in item price: The ‘Included in Item Price’ checkbox allows the vendor to indicate if a charge is included in the price of the item. When selected, the tax sum is not added to the total cost, rather it is displayed for the customer to see that tax has been included. The charge value is calculated and shown in reports.

• Select Order Method: This is where the vendor selects the order method the tax or charge created is applicable. Depending on the order method enabled by the vendor for the restaurant, the list of enabled order methods is displayed here for the vendor to select which order methods the tax or charge created would be applied.

If no order method/payment method is selected, the tax or charge created would be automatically applied to all order method/payment method enabled for the restaurant.
