The festive season is almost here and with it comes busy trade and public holiday penalty rates. For the hospitality industry, operating during this period can become costly which is why it is vital to reclaim penalty rates with public holiday surcharges. With SENPOS Point of Sale software, adding public holiday surcharges is simple and convenient thanks to the Surcharge Promotion function.
What is the SENPOS Surcharge Promotion function?
Surcharge Promotion is an in-built function within SENPOS Point of Sale software which allows you to add and pre-schedule instant percentage surcharges on food and beverage items. Once the desired percentage is setup the new price is automatically calculated for the sale – no manual handling is required.
For venues with multiple dining and bar areas, the Surcharge Promotion function can also be allocated to specific terminals and menu items. For instance, a 5% surcharge on beverages purchased in the bistro compared to 10% when purchased directly from the bar. Your surcharge can also be assigned to other Point of Sale devices, such as tablets and via OrderToGo as needed.
