Configuring Cash Discounts in Aloha Cloud
In Aloha Cloud, create a cash discount through the Menu section of Aloha Cloud Back Office.
To create a cash discount promotion:
-
Log in to Back Office using Company View (All Stores). Select a specific site to create discounts at the store level.
-
Select Menu > Discounts. The DISCOUNTS screen appears.
-
Select Add a Discount.
-
Type a name for the discount, such as ‘CASH DISC’.
-
Type a description for the discount, such as ‘Cash Discount (3%).’
-
Click Assign Stores in ‘Store Assignment’ and assign the discount to one or more stores.
-
Select Percent from the ‘Discount Type’ drop-down list.
-
Type the percentage to discount the check in ‘Percent Off.’
Tip: Cash discounts are usually from one to four percent.
-
Click Save.
To add a cash discount message on guest check:
To add more transparency to the consumer, you can add a cash discount message in the footer of the guest check. This benefits table service operations where the server delivers the check prior to payment, and the consumer is informed and can choose the payment method to use.
- While still logged in to Back Office, select Settings & Privacy > Store. The Store Configuration menu option appears by default.
- Under the ‘Receipt Information’ group bar, type a cash discount message in ‘Receipt Message,’ such as ‘Pay with cash and get a 3% discount.’ Add the message with all other defined receipt messages as one.
- Click Save.
