Configuring Cash Discounts in Aloha POS v19.12
Using Aloha Configuration Center, configure a single comp to be used for cash discounting. You must also select ‘Allow subsequent comp/promo on check’ for all other comps to perform a cash discount on a check for which you have already applied a comp or promotion.
When you finish your comp configuration, associate the cash discount comp with the Cash tender.
To configure a cash discount comp:
-
Select Maintenance > Payments > Comps.
-
Click the New drop-down arrow, select Regular from the list, and click OK.
-
Under the ‘Settings’ group bar on the Comp tab, type a name, such as ‘3% Cash Discount.’
-
Select Active.
-
Select Fixed percent from the ‘Method’ drop-down list.
-
Type the amount of discount in ‘Percent off,’ such as 3.
Tip: Cash discounts are usually from one to four percent.
-
Configure the rest of the options at your discretion.
-
Click Save and continue with the next procedure.
To configure all other comps to allow you to also apply a cash discount comp:
- While still in the Comps function, select an existing comp other than the one for cash discounting from the dropdown list.
- Select the Restrictions tab.
- Under the ‘Comp restrictions’ group bar, select Allow subsequent comp/promo on check.
- Click Save.
- Repeat this procedure for each comp that is not the one for cash discounting.
- Exit the Comps function.
To associate the cash discount comp with the Cash tender:
- Select Maintenance > Payments > Tenders.
- Select the Cash tender from the drop-down list.
- Under the ‘Settings’ group bar, select the comp used for cash discounting from the ‘Automatically applied comp’ drop-down list.
