As a restaurant needing to comply with the regulations of the Irish Deposit Return Scheme, you need to add a recycling container charge to specific menu items as per the regulations.
Requirements:
Access to Flipdish Portal.
Who can access the feature? Any member of staff with menu editing rights.
How to create a deposit charge:
Adding a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) Option to Menu Items
Access the Menu Editor:
Your first step is to navigate to the section of the Flipdish Portal where you can make changes to your menu. This is commonly referred to as the "Menu Editor."
Identify DRS Applicable Items:
Once inside the Menu Editor, carefully review your menu items. Look for the products that are eligible for the Deposit Return Scheme. These are likely your bottled or canned beverages.:
Open Item Settings:
For each DRS applicable item you've identified, locate the editing options. You mentioned "three dots" which usually indicate a menu of actions. Click on these three dots next to the specific item you want to modify. Then, select "Edit" from the dropdown menu.
Navigate to Additional Settings:
Within the item's editing screen, look for an option labeled "Additional Settings." This is mentioned as being the last option in the list. Click on "Additional Settings" to proceed.
Locate Pricing Options:
Scroll down within the "Additional Settings" until you find the section related to "Pricing." Once you see it, click on the "Edit" button associated with the pricing settings.
Access the Deposit Return Scheme Dropdown:
Scroll down again within the pricing settings. You should now see a dropdown menu that specifically mentions "Deposit Return Scheme."
Select the Applicable Charge:
Click on the "Deposit Return Scheme" dropdown menu. This will display a list of the different deposit charges available. Carefully review the options and select the specific charge that applies to the menu item you are currently editing.
Save Your Changes:
After selecting the correct DRS charge, make sure to save your changes. There will typically be a "Apply Changes" button at the bottom or top of the editing screen.
Repeat for Other DRS Items:
Repeat steps 3 through 8 for every other menu item that requires the DRS option.
Review Your Menu:
Once you have applied the DRS option to all relevant items, take a moment to review your live menu or a preview to ensure the deposit charges are correctly displayed for those products and publish the menu.
Let's make sure those DRS charges are configured correctly on your Flipdish portal. Here's how you can walk through it:
Head over to the "Settings" section in your Flipdish portal.
Within "Settings," look for and click on "Organization."
Next, navigate to "Charges Configuration." This is where you'll find all your DRS charges.
You should now see a list of all the DRS charges you've set up.
To view and edit the details of a specific charge, simply double-click on its name.
In the same window, you'll also be able to specify any constraints that apply to this particular charge.
Make sure to save any changes you make to each charge configuration.
Repeat the double-clicking and editing process for each DRS charge in your list to ensure all plate names and constraints are accurately entered.
There you have it! By following these steps, you should be able to successfully add the Deposit Return Scheme option to your menu items.
Once the task has been completed, your menu will be updated. This charge will be made visible to your customers during the ordering flow. The deposit will be shown as a separate line item on your customer's receipt.
