MAXIMUM Discount Amount Possiblity?

[Jason]

Hi Toast Community!

How come there isn't an options in Discounts to set a MAXIMUM discount.  You can set a min/max spend for the discount to work, but shouldn't there be to set the maximum amount an employee or Toast will take off?  Or am I missing a setting?

Thanks!

No there isn't, what are you trying to achieve? The discounts themselves are limiting depending on configuration, like a fixed amount or percentage off.

I'm really surprised Toast doesn't have that option.  The example would be a coupon (discount code) that says 20% your total check but the maximum discount is $20.  The way it is now, Toast would do the 20% unlimited, so if the person spent $9000 as a silly example, it would give off 20% of that.  If you do the Open % Discount, you can avoid that, but now you're replying on the employee to calculate what the 20% off would be and remember not to go over the maximum.  Super-problematic.

Ok, yeah, not at this time anyway, if you have access to the ideas hub beta I would submit it there. The only thing I can think of as a workaround would be to have two discounts, one that is 20% off up to a max check of $100 and another discount that is $20 off with a minimum check of $100, not ideal but would be better than them doing math on the fly.

It will max out at 20% of 100 and the rest of the check will not be discounted
