Tare Weight
Tare is the weight of an empty container. Tare is used to weigh food by removing the weight of the container, plate
or bowl so you are left with just the food weight.
EXAMPLE 1:
If your cafe has a sundae bar and the sundae bar is sold by weight, you can set up the PLU to subtract the weight
of the sundae dish so the customer is paying for only the net weight of the sundae.
EXAMPLE 2:
Potato Salad is sold in a plastic container. The weight of the container can be programmed into the PLU so that
the container weight will automatically be deducted each time the product is weighed.
NOTE: There are three different ways to manage the Tare Weight of a container.
1. Key in a PLU number or select a PLU preset key.
a. Place the container on the weigh platter and select the Tare key on the Operator Keysheet.
b. Add the product on the weigh platter and press the Print key.
2. Program a Tare preset key. Refer to Preset Key Set Up.
3. Use the ScaleLink Pro 5 Lite Software to set up the Tare preset key. Refer to Edit Keyboard Layout, in the
ScaleLink Pro 5 Lite Software User Guide for setup information.
