Item Availability¶
Control which items customers can order.
Availability Status¶
Each item can be:
- Available - Customers can order it
- Unavailable / Sold Out - Not shown to customers or shown as unavailable
Marking Items Unavailable¶
From the Menu¶
- Go to Menu
- Find the item
- Tap the availability toggle (or tap item > toggle)
- Item is now marked sold out
Quick Toggle¶
On the menu list:
- Tap the status dot next to an item
- It toggles between available/unavailable
Bulk Changes¶
To change multiple items at once:
- Go to Menu
- Tap Edit
- Select items
- Tap Mark Unavailable or Mark Available
When to Mark Items Unavailable¶
Mark items unavailable when:
- You're out of a key ingredient
- Equipment for that item is down
- You're too busy to make certain items
- The item is seasonal and not currently offered
Making Items Available Again¶
Same process as marking unavailable:
- Find the item
- Toggle availability back on
- Item reappears for customers
Real-Time Updates¶
Availability changes are instant:
- Customers immediately see the change
- Items in customers' carts show as unavailable
- No orders come in for unavailable items
During Service¶
Update Immediately
When you run out of something, mark it unavailable right away. This prevents orders you can't fulfill.
Check Before Opening
Review your menu before opening each day. Mark anything you can't make.
Automatic Availability Reset¶
Some trucks reset availability daily:
- Go to Settings > Menu Settings
- Enable Reset Availability Daily
- All items become available at a set time each day
This is useful if you start fresh each day.
Inventory Tracking¶
If you track inventory quantities:
- Enable inventory in item settings
- Set stock count
- Items auto-mark unavailable when stock reaches zero
This is optional and works best for trucks with consistent inventory.
