Hi,
Hope someone can help as I have...
I have inherited at QT 6600 and need to program a discount button that will give allow the till operator to issue a 50% discounts against all PLU's bar alcohol. The kicker is that this discount can be applied multiple times to the same order and each time the discount must not go over £10. It's the UK eat out to help out scheme.
Any advice even if it's "Not possible, go with pen and paper" would be very much welcome. As an example:
Bill before service charge and discount £60.00
Service charge £6.00
Total bill £66.00
Amount spent on alcohol £10.00
Amount that discount can be applied to £50.00
Discount to customers (50% of 50) £25.00
Bill after discount is applied £41.00
The total discount is £25, which is £6.25 per diner and is below the £10 per diner cap.
Thanks
It's possible to get something working that may suit your needs but it won't be a simple as just adding one button, how adept are you with the till programming?
I'd like to know as well . My idea was to share table and put alcohol on one check (20%) and meals on the other(5%) . Any help much appreciated
I have some UK clients, I'll check out would they be interested in this. It will require writing a custom arrangement program which is quite specialised and would not be possible for an end user to do really, even most Casio dealers would be unable to help. If there is a market for it I'll see what I can do about a universal program than can be applied with remote help only
I had a play around and there is an elegant enough solution using mix&match/coupons. You can setup the system so any item under £20 for instance uses 50% discount (as this would always be below the £10 cap) and any item over £20 uses fixed amount £10 which is the max as I understand? Individual plus or entire sub-departments can be targeted so alcohol can easily be excluded.
Rather than having a big bill and trying to separate out this method applies the discount a the time of order:
Lasagne £12 > gets 50% discount > £6
Steak £24 > gets £10 discount > £14
3 x Pints £9 > get no discount > £9
Total bill: 14 + 9 + 6 = £29 with £16 discount
