Product Inventory – designed to track of such things as bottled beer. You cannot use this option for any item that has price shift levels, such as Sml, Med and Lrg. It is not intended for true inventory tracking. Restaurants wanting to track inventory should purchase the Inventory module.
Enter a number at the start of the day.
The “Menu Inventory” report automatically prints on the Daily Close if a product inventory amount was entered for an item.
To manually execute this report, go to Managers Menu, Reports Menu, Menu Reports, and Daily Menu Inventory.
On the Menu Inventory report, the “Amount On Hand” represents the “Product Inventory/Beginning Count” minus the quantity sold that day. If you did a physical count of how many are left at the end of the day, it should match the “Amount On Hand”.

Number Available – If the default of 9999 is left as is, the feature is not active. This was intended to be used as a countdown for Daily Specials. Enter the total number of Specials available at the start of day or meal period in the Number Available field. The count reduces as each Special is ordered. This prevents the Servers from ringing up an item that is no longer available.
When the count becomes low, it shows “Low Stock Warning” along with the quantity left in stock on the chalkboard of the ID Screen. The menu item button will display the quantity still available on the order screen, unless there is a logo image on the button which hides the count. If Servers try to ring up an item that has already counted down to zero, a message appears “Menu Item is out of stock. Item has been 86”.
