Inventory Numbers on Modifiers
We are a brewery that sells many merchandise items, clothing, hats, sweatshirts, glassware etc. Of the items we sell: beers, cans of to-go beer, glassware, signs, growlers etc. we can add an inventory number to the item, which subtracts from the inventory when we sell that item. This works perfectly for our inventory tracking, showing the total number of the items still in inventory after each day.
For clothing items this system is not helpful or useable as it will show the number of total shirts, not what is needed, the inventory number of each different size of the shirts. We enter our clothing items under the clothing category as one item for all sizes and then have size modifiers to indicate the size options. Currently to easily monitor inventory we would have to make each size of every clothing item an individual item. This would fill the screen with similar items, making it difficult to find the correct item and size during transactions. What we need is to be able to add inventory numbers to the size modifier to inform us the number of clothing items we have of a size. This would be very helpful for our inventory tracking of our clothing.
The ability to inventory a modifier would also be helpful for restaurants that have special menu items. I.E. if a restaurant has a special of flounder topped with crab but only has 5 orders of crab you could add the inventory number of 5 to the add crab modifier button and the servers could see the modifier number subtract with each sale of the modifier.
This addition should be easy to program, (I think) if you can add an inventory number to an item it should be easy to make an inventory number add to a modifier.
