There\u2019s nothing more disappointing for the guest than seeing the waiter come back to the table to say, that the chosen items are not available. Your restaurant\u2019s team should be aware of the availability of all items, however, it is nearly impossible as there can be tens and even hundreds of wine bottles at the restaurant. Use your restaurant point of sale system (POS) to stay one step ahead of the stock availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enjoy a small tutorial with screenshots to see, how easy it is to manage your valuable wine stock on Lightspeed Restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.\nSelect the beverage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Head to the \u201cProducts\u201d menu. In this example, we have selected the \u201cWine\u201d category and \u201cBedrock Zinfandel.\u201d If you click on it, you can see all the information regarding the product, for example, the description, image, price and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the product card, there\u2019s an option to select \u201cEnable Stock Management.\u201d Click on it and now you have two more subsections under it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
3.\nStock level<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In this example, we have received 24 bottles of the previously selected wine. As soon as you type 24 in the box, it is immediately available for your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
4.\nEnforce stock<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is an optional feature- if the box is checked, as soon as the stock runs out, the waiters won\u2019t be able to add anymore of the particular beverage to the guest\u2019s order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Show & Tell feature:<\/strong> Access the menu item description\nand images to display to the restaurant\u2019s guests. Your employees are also\nimmediately informed about the stock availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stock levels on the menu button:<\/strong> The restaurant point of sale system offers to add the stock level on the menu button, which makes it even easier accessible to the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All\nthe beverages are in order<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We hope that this tutorial has been useful for your restaurant. By using the \u201cEnable Stock Management\u201d and \u201cEnforce Stock\u201d features, the restaurant\u2019s guest won\u2019t be able to order anything which is out of stock. Additionally, as soon as the waiter notices the unavailability of an item, they can prepare themselves to give according recommendations for a substitute. The staff is well informed and the guest doesn\u2019t feel as disappointed as it might be.
