💵 Set a Custom Total and Read the Discount Breakdown

Key in the total you want the guest to pay and let the app back-calculate the discount, then read what each line on the bill means.

📝 Steps

  1. On an open order, tap Pay.
  2. In the Functions row, tap Custom Total.
  3. Using the keypad, enter the new total in Target Amount, then tap Confirm.
  4. The app adds a flat Discount equal to the difference between the current total and your target amount.

If the order has no items, you'll see No items available for discount. If your amount is not lower than the current total (or is negative), you'll see Target amount must be less than current total — enter a smaller value and try again.

📝 Read the bill breakdown

Below the order list, the running totals break down into:

  • SUBTL — subtotal before tax, service charge, and discount.
  • GST — tax amount (shown only if tax is enabled; the label may follow your configured tax name).
  • SVC — service charge (shown only if service charge is enabled).
  • ROUNDING — the rounding adjustment.
  • DISC — total discount applied, including any custom total discount.
  • TIP — tip amount (shown only when a tip has been added).

The Discounts section on the Pay screen lists each discount by name; tap the gray ✕ next to Discount to remove your custom total and restore the original price.

💡 Tip: A custom total always adds a new flat discount — it never edits an existing one. Remove it from the Discounts list if you change your mind.
