- All subsequent items entered on a ticket after the ticket has been Split by Amount will be added to the ticket as a full amount and QTY.
Include Tax
The Include Tax feature is utilized to include the calculated tax and service charge into the the split.
- If you choose to include tax, then the Subtotal of the new ticket will be the split amount minus the tax and service charge that will be calculated when settling (Spit Amount - (Tax + Service Charge)) = Subtotal. This is done so that the Total amount paid comes as close as possible to the split amount entered (without exceeding it).
- If you choose to not include tax, then the Subtotal of the new ticket will be the split amount itself (or as close as possible to the split amount given calculations and rounding). Upon settling, tax and service change will be added to the Subtotal.
Example 1: We have one item on a ticket with a price of $128.00 (bottle of wine). If we split this item by an amount of $50.00 and check the Include Tax checkbox, then the Subtotal before settling will appear as follows:
When settling, tax and service charges will be added to the Subtotal bringing the Total to the split amount entered (or as close as possible to the split amount entered).
Example 2: We have one item on a ticket with a price of $128.00 (bottle of wine). If we split this item by the amount of $50.00 without checking the Include Tax checkbox, then the Subtotal before settling will appear as follows:
When settling, tax and service charge will be added to the Subtotal.
Combining Tickets
In the event a member decides to pay for another member sitting at a separate table, the Split Ticket feature can be used to combine the two tickets into one. Please note that in order to combine the tickets, the tickets need to be on the same table. Therefore, the non-paying member's ticket needs to be moved to the paying member's table.
1) Use the Change Table feature to move the non-paying member's ticket to the paying member's table.
2) Once the two tickets are on the same table, select Split Ticket.
3) The Split Ticket Screen will appear as follows:
4) Check the item(s) that should be moved from non-paying member's ticket to the paying member's ticket. Then click Move Selected Item(s).
5) All items will be moved to the paying member’s ticket. The ticket the items were transferred from will automatically be deleted.
Best Practices
When ticket splitting is required, ensure to add the items as normal and then after all items are added, select Split Ticket.
When combining tickets, ensure all tickets are at the same table prior to merging them by using the Split Ticket option.
