Adjusting Menu Item Availability

You can set a menu item as Out Of Menu Item to prevent workstation operators from posting an order for a menu item that is no longer in stock.

You can also set the Count Available for a menu item that has limited availability. The count is reduced each time the menu item is ordered. When the count reaches zero and a workstation operator tries to add the menu item, the system displays the warning message “No more <menu item definition name> remaining”.
