GST (Goods and Services Tax)
GST is a Canadian federal tax on the sale of Goods and Services. On January
1, 1991 the rate was set at 7%. It applied to most services and all goods
except groceries. Special programming is available in the MICROS e7
System to adapt to the variety of relationships that may exist between the
federal sales tax (GST) and each provincial sales tax (PST).

Guest Check
A Guest Check is a record of all sales to one or more customers, from the

Guest Count
Guest Count, often called cover count or covers, is the number of guests at a

served by a guest check using the [Guest Count] key. Guest counts appear on
sales reports and guest checks.
