An Open Percentage discount will allow you to discount a check by any percentage amount on the total check. When you touch this discount name on the order screen, it will prompt a keypad to type in the desired percent.

From the setup screen:
1. Type in a descriptive name for your discount – you will be prompted for a reason (reason will be your Discount Name on the receipt) when using the Open Percentage type.
|
|
|
2. Select the dropdown next to Type and choose a discount type that best describes your discount name. To take off an open amount, choose the Type of Open Percentage.

3. Leave the Amount blank since you will put in a custom percentage on the order screen.

4. Next to Access Level, decide who should be able to apply this discount – usually you will only allow an assistant manager or higher to apply discounts in order to prevent unauthorized discounts from being applied to checks.

5. Choose the best category that describes what you just made – for example, it could be a coupon, discount, service charge, etc. a. In this example, choose the category Discount.
