You can activate a discount using the methods described in the following table:

Table 10-1 Discount Methods

Discount Method Description

Manual

A workstation operator manually applies a discount to a check by pressing a discount key. This is a traditional discount method.

Automatic

Simphony Essentials applies an automatic discount when a transaction meets certain criteria. As a workstation operator adds menu items to the guest check, the system detects items that trigger a discount, and then applies the discount to the check.

Coupon

A coupon is an automatic discount with one difference: the workstation operator must first apply the discount (coupon) to the guest check.
