86'ing from a Toast device

A manager can 86 an item or modifier using the Quick Edit Mode from any Toast device. They no longer have to find a computer, log into Toast, and make updates to the menu in the middle of a rush when something goes out of stock.

Learn how to 86 an item in Quick Edit Mode in the following video or steps below.

Step 1: Using a manager passcode, log into any Toast device.

Step 2: On the Order Screen, press and hold the button of the item or modifier that is out of stock to enter Quick Edit Mode. 

Step 3: In the Inventory dropdown select Out of Stock and click Done 

Step 4: The item you 86’d will now be unselectable with a zero in the corner

Step 5: To make an 86’d item available again, select In Stock on the Quick Edit screen and click Done

86’ing from Toast’s backend

You can 86 an item or modifier from Toast’s backend instead of from a Toast device.

Learn how to 86 an item from the backend in the following video or steps below.

Step 1: Navigate to Menus using the navigation on the left-side of the Toast Dashboard

Step 2: Select Advanced Properties.

Step 3: Select Inventory from the Show/Hide dropdown.

Step 4: From the Inventory column, type the number "0" to 86 the item.

In the screenshot below, we’re 86'ing Signature Nachos.

Step 5: Select Save and Publish for the changes to take effect.

Step 6: To add the item back into inventory, simply delete the "0" zero in the Inventory column.

86'ing a modifier

You can also 86 a modifier by using the arrow next to an item to access the modifier group and adding a "0" in the Inventory column.
