WaiterOne offers a flexible and intuitive way to manage taxes, making it easier for businesses to handle varying tax rates depending on the type of sale. A frequent question we receive is how to set up different tax levels for dine-in versus takeaway orders. Let’s break it down step by step.

Three Tax Levels Per Group/Table

In WaiterOne, you have the ability to assign up to three tax levels per group or table. This allows you to create different tax settings based on the nature of the sale. For example, you might have one tax rate for dine-in customers and a different one for takeaway orders. Here’s how you can set it up:

Step 1: Configure a Table for Takeaway

To differentiate tax rates for takeaway orders, start by creating a table specifically for takeaway sales. Once this table is set up:

1. Assign Tax Level 2 as the tax level for this takeaway table.
2. When you process a sale using this table, the system will automatically apply the tax rate assigned to Tax Level 2.

This setup ensures that any sales recorded under the takeaway table will be taxed at the appropriate rate.

Step 2: Adjusting Tax Levels for Other Tables

If you’d prefer to reverse the setup, you can:

1. Use Tax Level 1 for takeaway orders.
2. Assign Tax Level 2 for all dine-in tables.

This flexibility allows you to tailor the tax configuration to your specific business needs, ensuring accurate taxation for every scenario.

Where to Configure These Settings

WaiterOne’s interface provides an easy way to configure tax levels. Here are the steps:

1. Go to the Data menu in WaiterOne.
2. Navigate to the Groups/Tables section.
3. Select the desired table or group and assign the appropriate tax level.
4. Save your changes.

Conclusion

Happy configuring!

With WaiterOne POS, managing your restaurant’s workflow becomes both intuitive and efficient. The system allows you to assign specific colours to users who are taking or entering orders, making it easy to quickly identify and prioritise tasks at a glance.

User Rights and Table Plan Visibility

In WaiterOne, each table on the floor plan is color-coded to match the user assigned to it. This visual cue lets you instantly see which server is responsible for each table.

Personalised KDS Settings

On the Kitchen Display System (KDS), you can choose to display orders using the designated user colors or assign unique colors to each order. This customisation option ensures you can tailor the system to your workflow.

Enhanced Communication Across Teams

The colour-coding system ensures seamless communication between front-of-house and back-of-house staff. When a user is assigned a specific color, it appears consistently across the status board and KDS, allowing everyone to stay aligned on order progress.

Better Organisation, Fewer Errors

This integration enhances organisation and reduces the risk of errors, enabling your team to respond faster to customer needs. As a result, WaiterOne ensures a more streamlined dining experience, boosting customer satisfaction and improving operational efficiency.

In today’s global hospitality and retail environment, clear communication is key. Whether you’re running a local café in Amsterdam or a bustling restaurant in Bangkok, the ability to serve both staff and customers in their preferred language makes all the difference. That’s why WaiterOne POS offers powerful multilingual support, allowing you to operate smoothly across diverse markets.
