Optionally adding gratuity(Service Charge) to a ticket
« on: March 03, 2013, 07:48:35 am »
I've been trying to implement this with ticket tags with little success.  Basically, if it's a large party, we'd like to optionally be able to add a service charge of X% to a ticket.  Is this possible to do?

Thanks
Anthony

You can create a "Service Template" and create a "Update Ticket Service Amount" action to add it to the ticket.

Like you said you can use ticket tags to trigger that action by handling "Ticket Tag Selected" rule. You can also create numeric sub tags as "5, 10, .. etc" and pass "Numeric Value" as "Update Ticket Service Amount" parameter.

It works similar to http://www.sambapos.org/docs/doku.php/en/tips/tracking_guest_count
The difference is you'll execute "Update Ticket Service Amount" instead of adding "cover items" to ticket.
