(Maitre'D 8.00.000.057 and later versions of Maitre'D)
You can have drivers enter a tip entry on External Orders for some media types.

On the workstation, the driver completes an order.

If the completed order was settled with a media type setup to request a tip adjustment, the invoice media modification screen is displayed. The driver can touch the Modify button to enter the amount of tip.

If the driver touches the Exit button, the order dispatch screen is displayed.

P.O.S. Control / Payments / Media Types / Option

Auto Adjust Tip on External Order:

Enable this option to allow drivers to enter an amount higher then the check total on External Orders, the difference will be counted as tip.

To turn this feature on, under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory, in the [Miscellaneous] section of the Bo.ini file, add the following configuration key and value:

AutoAdjustTipOnExternalOrder=True

Note: When modifying the Bo.ini, first stop the Server through Server Control, then exit both the Server Control and P.O.S. Control modules, modify the Bo.ini Configuration Key and Value, and only then start the Server again before redoing workstation data.
