I want a category to be visible(on the user app) only for delivery orders/ I do not have the required stock of an item and want to mark it as out of stock on POS.
For requirements like hiding an item or marking them as out of stock, staff has the option to control them in the POS itself. The staff can hide/mark out of stock both the items and the combos they are part of at the same time.
Hiding an item implies it won’t be visible on the user application for those order types where it has been hidden. For example, an outlet might not want to take delivery orders for cakes so they will hide the category from the delivery menu. It is to be noted that hiding an item won’t make it invisible in the POS order menu screen.
Marking an item as out of stock won’t show it in the user app. You can choose a time frame post which the item will become available on the user app. For example, you do not have chicken at your outlet, so you can mark the whole category as out of stock until the chicken vendor comes. Marking a category as out of stock in one order type will make it unavailable for all order types and in the POS order menu.
