Create food combo that deducts items from inventory

Hello,

 

We have been using the square online store to run our concessions, and it has been requested that we offer a couple combo meals. For example: You can buy a Chick fil a sandwich currently, but we also want to offer chips and a soda, and likewise for hotdogs. I want to make sure that I do this right, so when someone buys a combo it deducts 1 sandwich/hotdog, 1 bag of chips and 1 drink from each items inventory. I'm not very savvy with the online store, so your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello @MerrimackRunner

 

With the regular point of sale, it's a little difficult to do what you're wanting to do on the online store. Your best bet would be to set up a coupon for a certain dollar amount off when you purchase the combo items, but that can be abused since there's really no control over what items can be in the cart.

 

If you're using Square for Restaurants, I recommend heading over to the beta section of this forum and registering. There are a couple betas that I think will help you out.

This is only used a couple times a year. I think the coupon code might be the ticket. Thank you.
