Custom Checkouts on Aloha 5.3.19

[gadang]

On a server checkout I am trying to show 10% of the "Cash Payments". Is this possible? This is so it shows what is expected for Tip reporting and makes the server "honest"

Any help or incite would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I think you can using the custom checkouts, as they have a formula option for tenders, cash, etc.., but I have never played around with it because it gives me a headache to look at all the variables.

Thanks for the Reply blok!
Do you have any idea which line of that "mess" is the correct variable? I am looking at my AKB's and see where the Custom Checkouts info is...just not sure which variable/string to work with.

I have a headache already just looking at it!!

Thanks!

I would say total dollar amount of tender $Tnnnn (All Cash Tenders included) multiplied by .10

Again just a guess, it sounds good in my head, but I have no clue if it works in the real world.

 

[Dem0s]

it would be <VAR(8$Tnnnn+$Tnnnn)*0.10)> where you would include $Tnnnn for each cash tender setup and you need to use a leading 0 (zero) when using a number with a decimal in an equation.

and the 8 is for how many spaces on the checkout are reserved to show the result of the equation.

Thanks DemOs!

Since you have knowledge about this I have another question. When setting up a threshold on tip declaration and a server checks out without meeting that threshold they get a warning stating that fact. Is there a way to not allow them to continue after that error shows until the proper amount is declared? Does that error show up in the audit report for that server?

I guess that was more than one question but if you (or anyone else) could help that would be great!

The only "minimum" tip declaration that can be enforced by Aloha is the server's credit card tip total.

New question on this topic - When using the "Print Only Custom Checkout" how do you get the credit card/non cash tender detail to print on the checkout??
