Add pre-payments/pre-authorisations to menus

Posted in Menus.

Go to Menu Manager.
Click Manage on the menu you’d like to update.
On the right-hand side, scroll down to Pre Pay Required and toggle it on.
Enter a Pre Pay Description.
Set the Pre Pay Required Trigger – this defines the party size at which the system starts charging. (Leave it as 1 if you want everyone to pay.)
Choose the Pre Pay Cut-off (Days) – the time customers have to enter their card details.
- If set to 0, they’ll have 1 hour.
- Any other number is counted in days.
Enter the Pre Pay Amount (the charge or pre-authorisation).
Under Pre Pay Payment Type, select whether to apply it Per Head or Per Booking, and whether to Take Payment or Authorise Only.
Click Save Changes.
(Optional) To make this the only menu available on a specific day, tick Exclusive in the same Menu Settings section.
