Amount Substitution Examples
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.
