Solved: How do I "86" an item from the menu? - Page 3

alldaymia · ‎06-15-2016

For a restaurant/cafe, when the kitchen/bar is temporarily out of or unable to make an item, typically front of house is told the item is "86'ed", meaning no longer able to be served. Is there a way to mark the item as unavailable on the POS without having to delete it, which is clearly impracticle?

Hi all! Dropping in with a quick update ✨

We launched an Item availability feature for anyone using the free tier of Square for Restaurants, which will sync in-store and Online availability. This is available for Square for Restaurants users on both iPad and Register. Learn more here!

Square broke 86ing about a year ago and it has been garbage since. The only way to 86 now is to 1) Give full item permissions (allowing staff to change item names, prices, and modifiers), or 2) 86 it from the KDS app, which requires extra hardware and monthly fees.
