How to Configure Store Availability and Inventory
Control which branches can sell an item and manage stock levels per store


Overview

The Store Availability (List Store) setting allows you to:


  • Define which branches are allowed to sell a specific item
  • Manage inventory tracking at the store level
  • Prevent unintended item visibility across locations



This is especially important for multi-branch operations where not all items are available in every outlet.



Configure store availability when:

  • An item is exclusive to certain branches
  • Testing a product in selected pilot stores
  • Managing region-specific menus
  • Controlling operational differences between outlets
  • Implementing branch-level inventory tracking




Configuring Store Availability (List Store)

After completing the Modifier setup:


  1. Click Save & Continue.
  2. You will be redirected to the List Store configuration page.
  3. You will see a list of all active branches.
  4. Select the stores where this item should be available.



If a store is not selected:


  • The item will not appear in that store’s POS, Kiosk, or Online Ordering system.


Default Behavior

When creating a new item:

  • All stores are selected by default.
  • You must manually deselect stores if the item should not be available everywhere.


Track Stock

Purpose (Why)


The Track Stock option allows you to monitor inventory levels at a specific store.


When enabled, the system will:


  • Deduct stock automatically as sales occur
  • Track remaining inventory quantity
  • Trigger alerts when stock reaches a defined threshold


How to Configure

  1. Enable the Track Stock checkbox for the desired store.
  2. Enter:
    • In Stock – Total available inventory quantity
    • Low Stock Alert Threshold – The quantity at which the system sends a reminder



Example:


  • In Stock: 50
  • Low Stock Alert: 5
    When inventory drops to 5, the system will notify the store.


When to Enable Track Stock

Enable this feature when:


  • Selling limited or seasonal products
  • Managing perishable goods
  • Operating high-volume branches
  • Requiring tighter stock control



Do not enable if:


  • Inventory is managed externally without system integration
  • The item has unlimited availability





Important Notes

Even if a store is selected in List Store, the item will not appear automatically.


You must still:


  • Assign the item to a specific Menu
  • Ensure that the Menu is active for that store



Store selection controls branch eligibility.

Menu assignment controls visibility within the sales interface.


Both configurations are required.



Best Practices

  • Review store selection before publishing new items.
  • Keep a clear policy for branch-exclusive items.
  • Enable Track Stock for high-value or limited items.
  • Set realistic low-stock thresholds based on average daily sales.
  • Always verify both store selection and menu assignment before going live.
