Overhead costs

'Overhead costs' are usually charged in addition to fees for meal.

You can find these settings in the top drop-down menu:
'Module settings (Administration)' in the 'Canteen' module when logged in as the administrator or the person entitled to the Canteen module.

You can define overhead costs on a daily or monthly basis (both, charges and their height).
You can set the height of the overhead for each type of payer separately.
If you serve more meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner), you can set whether to charge the whole day or each meal ordered separately.
If you have different time periods set in 'Types of payers & Price list' section, this will also appear in this section.
Do not forget to save the changes made in the 'Overhead costs' table.
