Disclaimer: This article is for Lunchbox 2.0 customers only. If your dashboard header looks the same as below, you are in the right place:


A restaurant can choose to assign surcharges for delivery should they wish to split the cost of delivery fees, PPE, or expensive paper products.


Set Up Delivery Surcharges

Step 1: Begin by navigating to the account-specific URL to access the Brink Dashboard then click the Configuration drop-down > Settings Editor on the left-hand side of the screen.

Step 2: Locate Surcharge on the Settings Editor

Step 3: Add New Surcharge: “Delivery”

  • Name: Delivery Surcharge

  • Automatically Apply: leave unchecked

  • Surcharge Style: Service Charge

  • Method: Fixed Per Order

  • Prompt: checked

  • Amount: 0

Note: We set the fee to $0 so that we can send and override the amount using values that are set on the Lunchbox Admin Dashboard. Delivery charges can vary per order, and Brink will accept whatever dollar amount we send for the surcharge.

Step 4: Specify which Destination the Surcharge is assigned to by going to Valid Destination. Check Limit Destinations and check off the Destinations that you would like to apply this surchage to.
