In the restaurant industry, the guest is often confronted with not knowing the appropriate tip amount to leave for the server. Using Suggested Tip, you can configure the system to automatically calculate and print suggested tip amounts on the bottom of the guest check, as well as the credit card voucher, for the guest to use as a guideline when leaving a tip. Using Suggested Tip results in the wait staff receiving a more accurate tip percentage. You can base the calculation on net tippable sales, gross tippable sales, or the check subtotal.
To print suggested tip amounts on the guest check requires you to create a guest check message using supported variables. The following table lists the supported variables you can use in guest check message formulas.
