When the quantity reaches zero, the customer will be notified that the item is not available. To increase the quantity, simply enter a value on the quantity field.

Menu items marked sold out will have a [SOLD OUT] label on the order page.

When a menu item doesn't have enough (or has zero) inventory but is not marked sold out, the customer will only be notified when the customer clicks [Add to Order].

To remove [SOLD OUT] label, click the 3-dot icon on the menu item, and select [Mark available].

Step 7 - Select Dietary Details (optional)
