Steps

  1. Open Types of Service. Open the drawer, tap Admin, and under Settings tap Types of Service (Dine-in, delivery, takeout).
  2. Add a service type. Tap + Add Service Type and type the Service name, for example Take Away.
  3. Add a charge if you need one. Enter the Packing / service charge, or 0 for none.
  4. Pick the charge type. Choose Fixed amount for a flat fee, such as $2 packing, or Percent of order for a fee that grows with the order.
  5. Save. Tap Save. The list shows each type with its charge, or No extra charge.
  6. Check the Home screen. Each type appears as a Service Mode card on Home. Dine-in opens the tables, Take Away goes to the POS, and Delivery needs a customer with an address.

How charges are used

The charge is added to orders started with that type. In QSR Mode, a fixed delivery charge set here is used as the starting Delivery charge when staff switch the Delivery toggle on. Percent charges suit service fees; fixed charges suit packing or flat delivery fees.

  • Types of Service is hidden in Retail Mode, where Home shows a single New Sale button.
  • Changes reach other tills after the next sync.
  • The DSR splits sales by type under Orders by Type.
