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!

If it is up to a specific value that they get comped could you not just create a discount with a fixed dollar amount for the amount you allow it up to?This would also allow them to get higher priced items and still get that amount off and they would owe the remaining balance.

Yeah, I guess that's a good option.  So if we allowed $18.00, and someone had an item for $14.00, it would discount the whole amount, and if the total was $20.00, then it would only comp $18?  

I have a terrible tendency to do things the hard way first... Thank you!

Yeah it would only discount down to zero if it was less than the discount amount, and if it was more it would discount the $18 and they would owe $2
