How to Create Comp Types

What Are Comp Types?

Looking to hook up a guest, offer a little industry discount, or remove something from a bill? Comping is a valuable tool. In your Arryved Portal, you’ll create all of your possible Comps as Comp Types. This article will show you how to create your unique Comps. 

Prerequisites 

To create or edit Comp Types, you must be a Portal Super Admin or an Admin with one of the following Portal Permissions:

  • LOCATION SETTINGS

  • ARRYVED VIEW

  • FULL ADMIN

  • ALL ACCESS

Limitations

  • For each Comp Type you create, you can only choose one of the four discount methods: Fixed $, Fixed %, Open $, or Open %. 

  • At Arryved, we use the term Comps. You may be used to the term “discount” here. We are referring to the same thing. In some reporting, you may see a total “less discounts,” which always means minus Comps. 

How It Work

  1. Log into your Arryved Portal with the proper Portal Permissions. 

  2. From the left side navigation, click Location Settings.

  3. Click Comp Types.

  4. Follow the guidelines below to create a custom Comp Type. 

  5. Click Save when finished.


  1. Comp Type

In the Comp Type field, enter the name of the Comp that will be visible within various reports in the Arryved Portal.

  1. Label


In the Label field, enter the name of the Comp that will be visible in Arryved Service and on guest receipts.

Choose one of the four following discount methods (3-6 below).

  1. Fixed $

Enter a numerical value in the Fixed $... field if you want the Comp to be a set (fixed) dollar amount.

  1. …or Percentages

Enter a numerical value in the ... or Percentages field if you want the Comp to be a set (fixed) percentage. Once you have entered a number, press the enter key on your keyboard to add that percentage. 

You can add multiple percentages. This Comp will prompt the employee to make a selection from these choices when a comp is added in Arryved Service

  1. Open %

Check the Open % box if you would like the Comp to be an open percentage. When an employee applies the Comp it will ask them to enter any %.

  1. Open $

Check the Open $ box if you would like the Comp to be an open dollar amount. When an employee applies the Comp, it’ll ask them to enter any dollar amount. 

  1. Auth. Required

Leave the Auth Required box checked if you would like to require authorization to use the Comp. The authorizing staff member will need to be logged in under a Labor Role with the Comp Permission. 

  1. Note Required

Leave the Note Required box checked if you would like to require a note to be added when the Comp is used. This note will be readable within various Arryved Portal reports.

  1. Comp Use Tax

The Comp Use Tax box is a unique case. Contact your Customer Success Manager or Support if you think this applies to you.
