This section provides examples of the Amount Substitution discount award type.
Example 4: Whole Number Quantity Item
1 Salad: $10.00
Amount Substitution: $9.00 (discounted $1.00)
Award Percent = Amount Substitution ($9.00) / Item Base Price ($10.00) = .90
Discount = ($10.00) - Amount Substitution ($9.00) = $1.00
When dealing with whole number quantity menu items, the customer always pays the Amount Substitution. If the customer orders items totaling $100, they pay only $9.00.
Example 5: Decimal Number Quantity Item
.5 Salad: $5.00
Amount Substitution: $9.00 (discounted $1.00 from parent item base price)
Award Percent = Amount Substitution ($9.00) / Item Base Price ($10.00) = .90
Discount = (Current Sales Total – (Current Sales x Award Percent) = $5.00 – ($5.00 x .90) = $5.00 – $4.50 = $.50
Example 6: Decimal Number Quantity Item, More Condiments Than Parent Items
The Award Percent for Amount Substitution is based on the parent item base price, not the total price of each item plus condiments.
The Discount Calculation only applies when the menu item plus condiments are less than the base price amount of the parent item.
