How to Mark Menu Items as Sold Out

No Stock / Available  •  Local For You Admin

When to use: An item has run out. Set it to No Stock so customers can’t order it, then set it back to Available when it’s ready again.

Good to know: You can select several items at once and update them all in one click.

Part 1  Mark items as sold out


 1   Go to Menus

Click the Menus icon (fork & knife) in the left sidebar.
