Auto Restock

[BlewburyBreadCo]

Please can you allow Automatic inventory restocking each day for certain items. 

I run a bakery and we make the same quantities of certain items each day, items not being auto restocked each day is a real pain, having to update inventory each day for 15 - 20 product lines. 

I've had to turn off tracking, however this then allows people to order online stock that we might not have, which will result in disappointed customers and us as a business having to offer refunds. 

This would be for items such as brownies of which we make 20 per day, and always do, so I would like this item to restock each day we're open, so that people ordering ahead of time can't push us into negative stock. 

It would also be very helpful to schedule restocking of other products on a day by day basis, for example if we know we're making 30 sourdough on a Thursday and 50 on a Friday, we could then input this in the system, so that people can order ahead of time and it would all tally with our inventory. 

I've seen this issue discussed a few times and it seems very surprising that Square's inventory management is as basic as it is, considering how much the integration between the POS, loyalty, online and payment systems is sold to us customers as a major feature. 

Surely proper stocks management would be a benefit to all businesses, not just restaurants / cafes.

Please can you look to improve these issues in the future?

Hi again, @BlewburyBreadCo! It's great to see your name popping up more regularly in the Square Community.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I completely understand the frustration of having to manually update inventory every day. We know that the current Square for Retail and Square for Restaurants plans don’t always apply to businesses outside these industries, and we’re actively advocating for more advanced inventory management features through Square Point of Sale with our Product Team.

In the meantime, if you have any further questions or need help with the current setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're here to help!
