What’s New
Large Parties
A common use for auto service charges is to apply an auto-gratuity to
certain guest checks to ensure that the server is fairly compensated for
their work. Auto-gratuity is frequently used when a large party comes
into a restaurant.
The auto service charge feature can be configured to automatically
register a service charge if the minimum party size threshold is reached.
The server will enter the party size when they begin the check and the
system will determine if auto-gratuity should be applied.
For example, suppose that the Mike Rose Cafe charges an 18% autogratuity for large parties of 6 or more. Customer A arrives with a party of
10 for dinner. When the server goes to enter their order they indicate the
party size of 10 the system will automatically register an 18% charge to
Customer A’s total bill.
Terminology
The following terms are relevant to the auto service charge feature:
Š Auto Service Charge – Auto service charge is a type of service
charge that is automatically posted to a guest check. This change will
affect all items that are linked to it. One example of an auto service
charge is auto-gratuity.
Š Auto Service Charge State – A guest check state that indicates if the
auto service charge is turned on or off at a specific time when items
are being rung on the guest check. This state is recorded in the auto
service charge line in the check summary area. If auto service charges
are turned on, the check summary area will appear on all guest checks
regardless of whether the total amount charged is $0.00.
