When you have a limited ingredient or component that’s used across multiple products, you can track its inventory in one place using a shared modifier. When stock runs out, all products using that modifier automatically become unavailable.

​
Use Cases

  • Pizza dough - Track total pizzas you can make across all pizza types
  • Bread rolls - Limit total burgers/sandwiches available
  • Daily prep items - Soups, sauces, or specials with limited quantities
  • Seasonal ingredients - Track a scarce ingredient across dishes

​
How It Works

  1. Create a modifier group representing your limited ingredient
  2. Add a single option with inventory tracking enabled
  3. Attach this modifier to all products that use the ingredient
  4. Make it required and pre-selected so it’s invisible to customers
  5. When inventory reaches zero, all linked products become unavailable

​
Step-by-Step Setup

​
1. Create the Modifier Group

  1. Go to Menu and select a product that uses the ingredient
  2. Open the Modifiers tab
  3. Click Add Modifier Group
  4. Name it something descriptive (e.g., “Pizza Dough”, “Bread Roll”)

​
2. Add the Stock Option

  1. Click Add an option
  2. Name it (e.g., “Regular Dough” or simply the ingredient name)
  3. Set the price to £0 (or your currency equivalent)
  4. Toggle Track Inventory on
  5. Enter your available stock count

​
3. Configure Selection Rules

Set the modifier to be required but invisible to customers:
SettingValueWhy

Max1Only one can be selected
Default Qty1Pre-selects the option
Initial DisplayCollapsedKeeps it out of the way

​
4. Attach to Other Products

  1. Open another product that uses the same ingredient
  2. Go to the Modifiers tab
  3. Click Add Existing Group
  4. Select your stock modifier group
Repeat for all products that share this inventory.

​
Example: Pizza Dough

You can make 50 pizzas per day. You have 5 pizza types on your menu. Setup:
  • Modifier group: “Pizza Base”
  • Option: “Fresh Dough” - £0, inventory: 50
  • Min: 1, Max: 1, Default Qty: 1
  • Attached to: Margherita, Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Veggie, BBQ Chicken
Result:
  • Each pizza order reduces the dough count by 1
  • When count hits 0, all 5 pizzas show as unavailable
  • Reset the count daily when you prep fresh dough

​
Restocking

To restock:
  1. Go to any product with the modifier
  2. Open the modifier group
  3. Update the inventory count
  4. Click Save Modifiers
The change applies everywhere the modifier is used.
Create a simple product called “Restock Items” in a hidden category. Attach all your stock modifiers to it for easy access when restocking.

​
Tips

  • Name clearly - Use names your team will understand when restocking
  • Set realistic counts - Account for waste and mistakes
  • Reset daily - For daily prep items, restock each morning
  • Use £0 pricing - Keep the modifier invisible to customers
  • Collapsed display - Customers don’t need to see required pre-selected options
