Stacked delivery fees?

Regarding in house delivery.

I'm trying to understand delivery fees.  Our previous system allowed for an area based delivery fee (one area is $3 and the next area is $4)  It is basically based on distance, so, theoretically a distance based option would work, which toast offers.  But I'm not sure how it stacks these fees.  

Toast bases it off of a set distance and not so much a range.  Example, anything over 0 miles can be allocated a charge.. or.. anything over 2 miles can be allocated a charge making 0-2 as free of charge.  

Can I stack these charges so that anything over 0 miles is set to $3 and then anything over 2 miles is an additional $1 bringing total delivery charge to $4?  Assuming the system applies both charges for anything over 2 miles.

The additional issue is providing this fee to the employee.  Toast only offers a fixed dollar amount to go to the driver for each delivery instead of actual.  For example from above, sometimes the fee is $3 and sometimes the fee is $4.  Because of this I'm inclined to keep the fees and just pay the employee milage.  Thoughts?

Hey, thanks for reaching out!  To answer your delivery question, you can stack the fees if you do the following!

- Log in to Toast Web and navigate to **Payments** > **Service charges**.
- Select the **+Add** button to create a new service charge.
- Name the service charge, for example, "Delivery Fee."
- Set the **Charge Type** to either Fixed Percent or Fixed Amount, depending on your preference.
- For the first charge, set the **Delivery Distance Threshold** to 0 miles and the charge amount to $3.
- Save this configuration.
- Create another service charge for the additional distance.
- Set the **Delivery Distance Threshold** to 2 miles and the charge amount to $1.
- Save and publish your changes.
This setup will apply a $3 charge for any delivery over 0 miles and an additional $1 for deliveries over 2 miles, totaling $4 for deliveries over 2 miles.
