Manage Stock Status (86)
1 min read#45
"86" is the restaurant industry term for an item being out of stock. In Vendion you can quickly mark items as unavailable.
How to mark an item as out of stock:
- Go to Settings → Menu → Products
- Find the item in the list
- Click the 86 button (toggle)
- The item is immediately marked as "Out"
Alternatively from the POS:
- Right-click (or long-press) on the product card
- Select Mark as out of stock (86)
What happens when an item is 86'd:
| Location | Effect |
|---|---|
| POS | Item is dimmed, cannot be added |
| Guest ordering (QR) | Item is not shown |
| Express (kiosk) | Item is not shown |
| AI Waiter | The AI won't mention the item |
Reactivate an item:
- Click the 86 button again to remove the marking
- The item becomes immediately available again
Tips:
- Use 86 instead of deleting the item – it'll come back next day
- Perfect for daily specials that run out
- Staff can 86 directly from the POS without going to admin
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
