How to set VAT rates and service charge
Create VAT rates, choose a default VAT rate and add a service charge to bills.

Add one VAT rate for each rate you use, for example one for food and one for alcohol.
Choose a default VAT rate
The default VAT rate is set automatically on every new product.
- Go to the VAT % section in settings.

Product prices include VAT. Enter the price the guest pays.
Turn on a service charge
A service charge (in Italy also called coperto) is added automatically to bills.
- Go to the Service charge section in settings.
- Enter the name and the percentage or amount.
- Turn the service charge on.

Remove the service charge from one bill
Staff can remove the service charge from a single bill during service, for example when a guest asks.
