Kitchen Display (KDS)
Change product and modifier availability from KDS
Mark products or modifier options sold out without leaving the kitchen, with Tomorrow/No plan restock and Uber sync status where configured.
Overview
- KDS includes an Availability panel so kitchen staff can react to stock-outs without going back to full Back Office menu administration.
- Products and modifier options can be set Available now, Sold out · tomorrow, or Sold out · no plan.
- Availability is Store-specific.
- For a connected supported Uber store with availability push enabled and mapped items/options, KDS shows sync states such as syncing, synced, failed, or not mapped and exposes retry for failures.
When to use this
- Use KDS Availability for operational sell-outs discovered by the kitchen during service.
Step-by-step
- Open Availability from KDS.
- Search or expand the category/product.
- Choose Available now, Sold out · tomorrow, or Sold out · no plan.
- For Uber-linked items, watch the sync state.
- If sync fails, use Retry and verify the external channel before assuming the item is unavailable there.
Common mistakes
- Do not delete products for same-day stock-outs.
- Do not mark the whole product sold out when only one modifier option is unavailable.
- Do not assume external sync succeeded if KDS shows Sync failed or Not mapped.
Troubleshooting
- If availability actions are disabled, the KDS may be in stale/read-only state.
- If Uber did not update, check connection, item mapping, availability-push setting, and retry status.
