ℹ️ Charging a gift card removes the balance but does not create an order. You'll need to create and fulfill the order separately.

1. Click Gift Cards

From the Kitchen App, click Gift Cards on the left side of the screen.

2. Enter the gift card number

Manually enter the gift card number or take a picture of it, then click Continue.

3. Review the balance and click Charge

You'll see the current balance, guest name, and email.

4. Enter the amount to deduct

Use the keypad to enter the charge amount.

5. Confirm the charge

The amount will be deducted from the guest's gift card.

⚠️ To charge (deduct from) a gift card, enter a negative number using the minus sign (e.g., -10.00). Entering a positive number will credit money to the gift card instead.
