Micros Simphony SIM Script - Eat Out to Help Out Scheme

Overview

SIM Script & Detail on how to setup the UK Government Eat Out to Help Out discount on Micros Simphony (Version 2.7 +)

Reason for this script

There is no clear way that a single discount setting in Simphony (on the version that I use) can handle both the 50% discount rule and cap it at £10 per person. This means you would need to have two buttons for two different discounts, (one for 50%, one for £10) and rely on the waiter/waitress to select the correct discount and click on it the correct number of times. Due to HMRC requiring the business to pay the full amount of tax on items pre-discount, and we have our tenders coming through to our PMS, we must partially tender the check to handle the discount.

What this script does

  • Loops through each check detail line (including condiments)
  • Checks to see if the detail line it's currently processing is a Menu Item, and if the Discount Itemiser of the Menu Item Class matches 1 or 12 (1 = Food, 12 = Non-Alcoholic Beverage, which may be different in your system)
  • If so, it adds the value of said item to a culumative running total value which it will apply the discount to
  • Calculates the discountable amount per guest (using the Guest Count Value on the check)
  • Calculates the value of 50% of the discountable amount (Discountable Amount * 0.5)
  • Calculates the maximum discount per guest (Number of Guests * £10.00)
  • Checks to see if the 50% discount amount is lower than the maximum discountable amount
  • If yes, it calculates the value per guest to print on the receipt, and stores the 50% discount amount ready to discount from the check
  • If not, it calculates the maximum discount per guest, and stores this amount ready to discount from the check
  • It then uses a defkey to simulate a Payment Key, finds the configured tender object number and types the discount amount in and then presses enter
  • The check can then be service totaled or payment taken

How to use the script at the till

  • Add the menu items as required
  • Set the number of guests for the check
  • Press the discount button (linked to the script)
  • Proceed to service total/tender the check
