We advise locations to apply the discount as you have described, since using a void indicates that the item wasn't made. Applying a discount in this manner makes sense. Additionally, I have attached our food waste tracker below in case you haven't seen it yet!<BR /><BR /><A href="https://central.toasttab.com/s/article/Get-Started-with-Food-Waste-Reduction" target="_self">Get Started With Food Waste Reduction</A>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 12 May 2025 20:40:22 GMT https://community.toasttab.com/t5/restaurant-operations/discounts-and-waste-management/m-p/15182#M6339 Rob 2025-05-12T20:40:22Z
