Mark an item as sold out
86 a dish mid-service so servers and online guests stop ordering it in an instant.
When a dish runs out during service, you need to stop orders right away — before servers take more requests or online guests place orders you can't fulfill. Marking it sold out syncs across POS terminals and the kitchen display in seconds.
The change is temporary: the dish comes back automatically when you open for the next service, so you don't have to remember to re-enable it.
Find the dish in your menu — here, the octopus just ran out mid-service.
This is where you'll find all your menu items, whether they're running low or completely out.
Set availability to sold out for today — no worries, it comes back on its own at tomorrow's open.
You're setting the availability window for today only — tomorrow's service will start with the dish available again.
Click Mark as sold out — your POS terminals and kitchen display update within a second.
Once you click, the update reaches every POS terminal and kitchen display almost instantly, so no one can order what's gone.
What's next
If a dish sells out regularly at the same time each service, consider adjusting your prep quantities or portion sizes to match demand.
For dishes that go out of stock often, you might also track which items are your bottlenecks so you can plan better for future services.
