Tare Weights

Tare Weights

Overview

Tare weights are a fixed adjustment to the quantity of the item for each item entered. Quantity can be represented as weight. If you have a tare code of 0.03 and you enter 3 ham then it will sell as 2.97 ham. 


The tare will only apply once, as it is supposed to represent the packaging 

Setting Up Tare Weights

  1. Go to Back Office > Settings > POS >  and set Show Tare to Yes

This will show the tare as a deduction against the line item. See the difference between the setting being off or on below




  1. Weigh you packaging. If you are selling the product in ounces then weigh the packaging in ounces


  1. Tare weights can only be added from the back office. Go to Back Office > Menu > Menu Items


  1. Enter the packaging weight Under Item Tare Weight. This needs to be entered as a decimal. If the packaging weighs 0.03 ounces then enter 0.03

Using Tare Weights

Tare weights will be used in combination with a scale. Either the scale will automatically add the amount into the system for you or you will enter it manually.


You can set the item to Request Quantity then set the unit of measure such as lbs or ounces.


  1. Weigh the product to be sold including the packaging


  1. Enter this amount into the system as you see it on the scale. For example, 10


  1. The tare weight will be removed from the amount entered and added to the system. If the tare weight is 0.03 then the amount entered on the system will have been changed to 9.97 and the price will be adjusted accordingly
