Add a service charge, government fee or card tips
Quick answerIn MAJA POS open Setup → Store & receipt → Charges on the bill, set the Service charge % and/or the Government fee with where they apply (table orders only or every sale), tick Tips on the card machine if wanted, and click Save store — the charges then appear as lines on the bill by themselves.
Before you start
- Setup needs the internet. The first save with a charge on creates the three charge items on the server.
Steps — set the charges
- Open Setup as a manager and find Charges on the bill in the Store & receipt card.
- Type the Service charge % and choose where it applies in on: off, table orders only or every sale.
- For a government fee, type its name in Government fee — its name (for example Municipality fee), its %, and choose fee on.
- Tick Tips on the card machine to be asked for a tip when a card pays.
- Click Save store.
Steps — a tip on a card payment
- At PAY choose Card.
- Type the tip from the card slip in Tip for the staff · from the card slip (0 = none).
- Take the card payment as usual.
Steps — take a charge off one sale
- On the sale, tap the charge line.
- Tap Take it off this sale. Only a supervisor or manager sees this button; it is logged.
What MAJA does for you
- Adds each charge as its own line on the receipt with its own account: the service charge is the house's income (with VAT, as on the food), the fee is collected for the authority, and a tip is held for the staff until the office pays it out.
Good to know
- A platform delivery order never gets charge lines on top; the platform's price is the whole price.
