Manage deposit items
Create and assign deposit systems for bottles, cups and other reusable containers to specific items.
With deposit items, you assign a deposit amount to certain items — for example, €0.25 deposit on every soft drink bottle or €2.00 deposit on every coffee-to-go cup. The deposit is automatically calculated during checkout and shown on the receipt.
What are deposit items for?
Common deposit scenarios in the catering industry: Bottle deposit for reusable bottles of beer, soft drinks or water; Cup deposit for coffee-to-go and takeaway cups; Bowl deposit for reusable bowls for takeaway food; Crate deposit for beer crates and other reusable carriers.
Create deposit items
Click on + Deposit Item to create a new deposit type. Enter the name (e.g., Bottle Deposit) and in the Value (€) field, enter the amount without the euro symbol, for example, 0.25. Click Save to apply the deposit item.
Assigning a deposit to an item: In the item dialog (see Additional Settings), select the appropriate deposit item. Upon sale, the deposit is automatically added to the item price and shown separately on the receipt—separated by tax rate and deposit item for accurate accounting.
Mandatory offer of reusable packaging
Since January 1, 2023, restaurants offering takeaway drinks in disposable cups and food in disposable containers must also offer a reusable alternative. The deposit system in the POS app allows you to track and document the reusable deposits.
