The cash discount is calculated from the subtotal of the check and recalculates the discounted amount each time you make an adjustment.

• When you delete the cash tender from the check, the discounted amount is also removed.
• When you void an item on the check after you apply the cash discount, the discounted amount is removed and you must reapply the cash discount tender.
• When you apply an overpayment of cash, such as $25.00 for a $20.00 check, the cash discount still calculates on the $20.00 amount. Similarly, when you apply a cash payment that is less than the check amount, the cash discount only calculates on the applied amount, leaving a balance due.
• When you split the check, the discounted amount calculates and appears for each seat/check.
• When you adjust the payment on the check, the discounted amount recalculates, as normal.
• You must apply a cash payment first before applying a non-cash payment.
• The ‘Equal Pay’ feature in Aloha Table Service is not supported with cash discounts. If a cash discount was already present, it is removed from the check when you initiate the ‘Equal Pay’ function.

• Start the check in the POS system and add items.

• When applying the payment, alert the consumer that paying with cash instead of a credit/debit card provides a discount on the check. The consumer agrees to pay cash.

• Touch Cash or one of the cash buttons (i.e $5, $10, $20). The discounted amount appears in the guest check window.

  
  If you did not apply the whole amount to cash, apply the balance due with another tender, such as a non-cash tender.
  

  Important: When you perform a partial payment, such as with a cash tender and a non-cash tender, you must apply the cash tender first. The cash discount does not apply when you apply a non-cash tender first.

• Close the check, as normal. The cash discount prints on the receipt.

If there is already a comp applied on the check that does not allow you to apply a comp or promotion on the same check, you cannot perform the cash discount. A message appears.

If the cash discount comp is not configured correctly, you cannot apply the cash discount. A message appears.

When you pay with a non-cash tender, such as a credit/debit card, the message, “You could have saved x.x% by paying with cash” prints on the receipt, where x.x is the cash discount percentage..
