We know our customers. A little blurb on the menu about tax being included in the price, and it won't be an issue at all.
Plus, no idea if we ever do it or not. My partner and I almost always go with what the group we put together recommends. We are also actively trying to sell each location, so we might not even own the places before a decision is made.
We in this case meant our restaurants. Poorly worded.
We are rounding down because we picture a customer getting upset when we round up. We don't want our employees to have to deal with upset customers.
The 6% will be baked into the menu price. If something costs $23.48 now, it will cost $24.89 which will be rounded up and show as $24.90 on the menu.
Probably hurts having Cade miss a few games, Thompson as well. But the Pistons are becoming a very slow team. Pace is down to 100.8 which ranks 13th in the league, far too slow. Hopefully they start to run more as guys get healthy.
Setting the POS is simple. A couple of clicks in our admin panel, save it, and it pushes it to every terminal on the network.
Then it just depends on how you pay. If your bill is $45.59 and you pay with a $50 bill, the employee types in $50 and it knows it a cash transaction, so it will round down to $45.55 automatically. If they swipe a card, the price will remain $45.59.
We are losing the penny tomorrow. We are going to start rounding all cash orders down to the nearest nickel. We figure if we went both ways someone would eventually have a fit and we don't want our employees to have to deal with that. Only about 12% of our transactions are cash, so not a huge deal.
We are also about to get a group of employees together to study the idea of including sales tax on our menu prices. So if you order three things that are $25, $10, and $5 your final total is $40 instead of $42.40.
