What Are Comps?

Looking to hook up a guest, offer a little industry discount, or remove a charge from a bill? Comping is a valuable tool. In your Arryved Portal, you can create Comp Types tailored to your needs. This article shows you how to apply a Comp to a tab in Arryved Service. 

Prerequisites

• You’ve created your Comp Types in your Arryved Portal.

• If a Comp Type needs approval, an employee with the COMP Labor Role Permission needs to approve the Comp. 

Limitations

• Comps can’t be applied to non-discountable items (only applicable to certain U.S. states and territories). 

• If you apply a Tab Comp to a tab, then place another order on the tab, the new items will not be comped. You’ll have to remove the Tab Comp and reapply it. 

How It Works

There are two ways to apply any Comp in Arryved Service. You can use a Tab Comp or an Item Comp.

Item Comps

An Item Comp applies the Comp to a specific item(s) of choice rather than the whole tab. 

For example, if you select two of the five items on a tab and apply a 20% off Comp, 20% will be subtracted from just the two items selected. 

1. Open Arryved Service and log in.

2. From the TAB screen, tap on a tab you’d like to apply an Item Comp to. 

3. From the Running Tab Window, tap Comp. 

4. Tap on the item(s) you’d like to Comp. They’ll highlight in blue. 

5. Tap the Item button at the bottom of the Comps window.

6. Select a Comp from the list of your Comp Types that appears.

• If the Comp Type is an open $ or %, it’ll ask you to enter a value. If so, enter the value and tap OK.

• You may also be required to enter a note to apply the Comp. 

7. Tap Done.

8. Tap Approve. 

9. Enter a login code for approval if one is needed. 

Tab Comps

A Tab Comp applies that Comp to the entire tab. For example, a 20% off Comp will subtract 20% from the subtotal of the entire tab. 

1. Open Arryved Service and log in.

2. From the TAB screen, tap on a tab that you want to apply a Tab Comp to. 

3. From the Running Tab window, tap Comp. 

4. Tap the Tab button at the bottom of the Set/Review Comps window.

5. Select a Comp from the list of your Comp Types.

• You may be prompted to enter a value for the Comp if there isn’t a preset value. If so, enter the value and tap OK.

• You may also be required to enter a note to apply the Comp. 

6. Tap Done.

7. Tap Approve. 

8. Enter a login code for approval if one is needed.

Removing A Comp

Made a mistake? Changed your mind? No problem, you can remove a Comp without any approval needed. Just retrace your steps to remove the Comp. 

1. From the TAB screen in Arryved Service, tap on a tab with a Comp applied to it.

2. From the Running Tab Window, tap Comps.

3. Tap on the red circle next to the Comp highlight. This item or tab will un-highlight. 

4. Tap Approve.
