After you configure your surcharges, tax groups, and items, you must enable the use of surcharges at the local site. If you are using Aloha Manager, you only have a single site; however, if you are using Aloha Configuration Center with multiple sites, you need to enable the use of surcharges at each site. You also specify the name of the surcharge that appears in the guest check window and printed receipts.

To enable surcharges at the site level:

• If you are using Aloha Configuration Center, select a site. If you are using Aloha Manager, continue to the next step.
• Select Maintenance > Business > Store.
• Select the Financials group at the bottom of the screen.
• Under the ‘Surcharge’ group bar, select Enable Surcharge.
  
• Type the text to appear on the FOH screen to identify this charge, such as ‘Sweetened Bev Tax.’
• Select Guest pays surcharge, if desired.
• Optionally select whether all surcharges appear on one line, if desired.
• Optionally select Apply surcharge to discounted items, if desired.
• Click Save and exit the Store function.

Continue to "Refreshing POS data."

After performing a data refresh, return to the main Sweetened Beverage Tax page.
