entrée can be configured to automatically place a service charge on a customer's invoice.

 

Service Charge

Select the service charge type for the drop down menu options: <none>, Add-On and Cost Plus.

 

•Select <none> as your choice if you will not be using service charges.

 

•The Add-On service charge will add a set dollar amount or a percentage of the invoice total as the service charge.

 

•The Cost Plus service charge will add a service charge on a per item basis. The service charge can be a set dollar amount per item or a percentage of the extended price of the item.

 

 

Small Order Limit

This value sets the threshold point at which the Small Order Fee is applied or removed and is based more or less on net item sales and excludes "per invoice" charges like freight. We say "more or less" because some incidental charges, like bottle deposits, are considered "sales" by this feature but we didn't think their effect would be substantial enough to require the extra calculations needed to compensate for them

 

Small Order Fee

This is the amount to be charged if a given invoice does not meet the specified minimum. When the fee has been applied to an invoice it will be listed as "Service Charge" on the printed document.

 

On the invoice the original Customer Service Charge is now shown as "Standard Service Charge" and a section for the new charge appears immediately below and is labeled "Small Order Fee".

 

Fuel Surcharge

Optionally you can set a "per customer" override value which will override the "standard" fuel surcharge as defined on the General tab of System Preferences.

 

Exempt

Check this option if the customer should not be charged the "standard" fuel surcharge as defined on the General tab of System Preferences.
