Out of Stock Today Feature

We wanted to add the ability for restaurants to mark items on their menu as “Out of Stock Today.” This way, they would not need to remember to mark the item as "in stock" the following day. This feature will make the menu item appear out of stock until the inventory status is updated to “In Stock” the following day at 5:00am EST automatically. This article will cover the Out of Stock Today feature and how to set items as Out of Stock Today. This feature is available on the Incentivio Orders Tablet app and within the Incentivio Admin Portal

Feature Overview

The Out of Stock Today feature is a button that allows you to mark specific menu items as out of stock for today only. The item that was marked Out of Stock Today will be reset back to In Stock over night at 5:00am EST. An item that was designated as Out of Stock Today will appear as unavailable for customers when they are ordering until the next day.
