Is there is a way to auto add a 5% fee on "to go" orders on Sq for Restaurants?

This is becoming more common for restaurants to do and I'd like to know how to do this in Square for Restaurants

Hello @Verdine! I'm really sorry that we missed your question. With Square for Restaurants you can set up Automatic Gratuity to automatically apply gratuity to tables over a certain size!

To set this up you need to sign in to your online Square Dashboard from a web browser and then navigate to the Service Settings section:

1. Sign in to your online Dashboard at squareup.com/login.
2. Click Points of Sale > Service Settings > then click Automatic Gratuity.
3. Select the location that you want to enable this setting.
4. Toggle Allow Automatic Gratuity ON and enter the details.
5. Click Save.

Another way to do this is to set up a 2nd tax rate of 5% and save it and you can assign that to to-go orders so that whenever the cashier changes the order type to to-go it automatically applies.  Tax rates categories can be names whatever you want or to add a flat percent to any order
