    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:

    1. Go to Settings → Menu → Products
    2. Find the item in the list
    3. Click the 86 button (toggle)
    4. 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:

    LocationEffect
    POSItem is dimmed, cannot be added
    Guest ordering (QR)Item is not shown
    Express (kiosk)Item is not shown
    AI WaiterThe 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
