Your StoreHub POS app must be updated to version '1.96.0' or newer.
The MEMC discount can only be applied if the total bill is equal to or greater than your 'MEMC Base Value' multiplied by the number of eligible customers.
Set Up the MEMC Base Value
First, you need to set the price of your 'Most Expensive Meal Combo' in your BackOffice. This will be the base amount used to calculate the discount.
2. At the F&B page, click the 'BIR Settings' tab.
3. Scroll down to find the 'Default MEMC Base Value' field. Enter the amount for your most expensive meal combo. This will apply to all your stores.
Example:
If you set the base value to PHP 250, the system automatically calculates the fixed discount amount for one person.

Apply the MEMC Discount on Your POS Register
Once the setup is complete, you can start applying the discount on your POS register.
1. Add items to the transaction cart as usual.
2. Tap 'Special Discount', then choose 'Senior Citizens/Persons with Disability'.
3. Tap on 'MEMC' to select it. The default option is 'Standard'.
Note:
The 'MEMC' option will be grayed out and cannot be selected if the total bill is too low.
4. Enter the number of Senior Citizens, Persons with Disability, and Regular Customers.
5. Enter the required details for each eligible person: 'Name', 'SC ID / PWD ID', and 'Tax Identification Number (TIN)'.
6. Tap 'Confirm' to apply the discount. The discount will now show in the cart as 'SC MEMC', 'PWD MEMC', or 'SC/PWD MEMC'.
Notes:
If you remove items and the bill becomes too low, the MEMC discount will be removed automatically. A pop-up message titled 'Special Discount Removed' will appear to let you know.
If you try to add more eligible customers than the bill allows, a pop-up titled 'Maximum SC/PWD Reached' will appear. You will need to use the 'Standard' discount instead or add more items to the bill.
