Discounting of weighed items under a lb

[JoesButcher01]

We run Toast Retail and run Toast in our restaurant (2 "locations").  On the retail side we use a scale generated embedded barcode to read price.   Toast will discount weighed fractional items over a lb correctly for % off but not $ off discounts.  Toast will not perform either discount with weights less than a lb.  Ex:  Strip Steak 1.54lbs, no problem with a 10% discount, will do $ off but only on the first lb not fractional.   Ex:  Ground Beef 0.95lb, won't discount a % off, but if its 1.01lb no problem, discounts at $ off cannot be performed. 

Inablity to do fractional $ off, and % off less is causing long lines with our cashier as the only workaround is an open item, requiring our cashiers to know every sale in the store or use a cheat sheet to remember and use a calculator to price the open item. 

We have made the request for a change though our onboarding rep, through Toast reps, and more.  The only response we get is "we are aware and working on it". 

Why can't Toast provide a timeline or at least some level of Toasts perceived urgency/priority on the fix, its maddening that we get "filtered" through reps and agents with no dev team communication. Additionally maddening, is that when posting to the board there is no Retail specific area, or label that fits posts like this. 

Anyone else familiar with this? could not find an active thread though search.  Thanks.

Looks like this is fixed in 2.93 https://updates.toasttab.com/announcements/minimum-quantity-for-item-specific-discounts-can-now-be-l... you might be able to request to be upgraded rather than wait.

This is a big challenge for us as well. The open item work around is not feasible for us. I want to make sure this is getting attention.

I'll ping my team again to try to get an update on this!

Thanks Rob. It's a really important thing for us, but we can work around it / change operations if we have a timeline.

Thanks Rob, appreciate your help,  we are running near $100k a week through Toast Retail and its creating consistent pay line delays using the work around of an open item (which of course not only requires cashier training on the weekly sales and a calculator, but as an open item it won't report with other sales of the same product).
