This method allows for applying a TakeAway Surcharge on a per-Product basis.
It uses a combination of Product Tags, Ticket Tags, Order Tags, Order States, and Automation (Actions/Rules).
While you could use this surcharge to recover the cost of Take-out containers, we are going to call this surcharge an Environmental Fee, and the surcharge can be different for each Product.
FLOW:
Click on the To GO button at the bottom of the Ticket to toggle between Dine In and To GO, while also automatically applying or removing the Environmental Fee surcharge
