Service Charge

  You can now add service charges to your sales in the retail module and the restaurant module of ROBOTILL (from version 9.15). A service charge will automatically calculate the price to be the specified percentage of the sale.  With  Waiter Tips  where the tip can also be specified as a percentage of the sale, the tip is recorded and linked to the sale, but kept separate from the sale. Tips are allocated to a specific waiter and no sales tax can be added to tips. The service charge on the other hand is included in the sale and it is possible to allocate a sales tax to the service charge.  To set up a service charge see: Service Charge setup . In the restaurant module you can also choose to automatically add the service charge to every sale. See 'Compulsory product' in the Restaurant Settings .
