Menu Price Elevation and Rounding – ItsaCheckmate

If you use our standard pricing model, you can round off menu prices using the Price Rounding feature.

Step 1: Log into the ItsaCheckmate Portal using your credentials

Step 2: Select Location Management

Step 3: Select the Location you wish to update the menu prices for and click on the MENU icon by that location

It will redirect you to the Menu Management Page

Step 4: Click on the pencil beside the “Price Elevation and Rounding”

Step 5: A pop-up for “Price Elevation” and rounding will open.

To use the rounding feature, toggle on Apply Rounding (optional), revealing the available Rounding options.

To Set Price Elevation

1. Click on the pencil next to "Price Elevation"

2. Set the Price Elevation to the desired percentage → Item and Modifier prices will automatically update within the portal

3. Select ‘Sync with POS’ for prices to update on your API-integrated ordering platforms

To Apply Price Rounding

1. Select the Rounding Feature you’d like to use: Traditional Rounding or Round Up

Traditional rounding will round up for any element that is 0.50 or more after the price elevation is applied and round down for elements less than 0.50

Round up will round up regardless of any decimal points

2. Select Rounding Type: To the nearest whole dollar or To the nearest $.99

The below example shows how an item with a default price of $17.25 would change depending on the Rounding Feature and Type selected:


	Default price	Traditional Rounding	Round up
To the Whole Dollar	$ 17.25	$ 17.00	$ 18.00
To the nearest $0.99	$ 17.25	$ 16.99	$ 17.99

3. Check the Optional box if you wish to Exclude any ITEMS and MODIFIERS that are less than $1.00

Note: If you do not check this box, all items and modifiers less than $1.00 will have the selected rounding feature and type applied to them. There is a possibility that some modifiers may be marked as free. For example, if you choose traditional rounding and have “Ketchup” at $0.25, then traditional rounding rules would apply and round the price DOWN to $0.00. To avoid this issue, a warning pop-up will appear, as shown in the screenshot below, allowing you to either Proceed or Cancel and change your settings accordingly before moving on.

Modifier Round Up EXAMPLE: If the default price of the modifier Premium Gluten Free Bun is $1.15, if we use the Round up Feature to the nearest whole dollar, it will update to $2.00.
