About Charitable Donations

Some Aloha® Quick Service restaurants like to support local charities by hosting donation drives. Prior to the implementation of this feature, referred to as Charitable Donations, it was not easy to add a donation to the guest check. Speed of service metrics were impacted to the point that cashiers bypassed the prompt to ask guests if they would like to make a donation, reducing the fundraising efforts. Effective in Quick Service v19.3.8, it is much easier to support local charities with easily configured buttons that allow guests to donate the change due, a predefined amount (i.e. $1.00, $2.00), or an open amount suggested by the guest.

When a donation drive is active, if a guest agrees to make a donation to the fundraiser you are sponsoring, touch the Donation button on the Tenders screen to open the charitable donations panel, select the button that coincides with the donation the guest would like to make, and follow the prompts until you return to the Tenders screen where you tender the check as you normally would.

Donate Change, Donate Predefined Amount, and Donate Open Amount Button Examples

Note: The Aloha Point-of-Sale (POS) system also supports a feature called Round It Up America. The implementation to support charitable donations discussed in this document is separate from, and does not require, Round It Up America.
