What your prices include

Some venues print prices with tax already in. Others print the price and add service charge and tax at the end. Both are normal — but a guest reading your menu cannot tell which one you do. This is where you say it.

The rule

It is a sentence, not a calculation. Writing “plus 7% VAT” here changes no price and no total anywhere — it only tells guests what to expect.

How it works

  1. Go to Menu → Menu look.
  2. Find the What your prices include card.
  3. Tap one of the ready-made lines, or type your own — something like All prices are subject to 10% service charge and 7% VAT.
  4. Writing in more than one language? Press Translate empty and the other languages fill in.
  5. Press Save line.

The card shows you the line exactly as a guest will read it before you save.

Good to know

  • Guests see it under your menu, under the price on each item page, and in the basket before they order.
  • Leave it empty and nothing appears — your menu looks exactly as it does now.
  • Keep it to one sentence. Long notes get cut off.
  • Owners and managers can edit it.
  • Each guest reads it in their own language. If you have not written their language, they see the one you wrote in — better a line they can translate than no line at all.
  • It does not change any price, any total, or any bill. If you want tax actually calculated, that is a separate setting.
