Manual Updates 

By simply going to the Menuboard Manager price sheet, you can toggle menu items as “Not Available” manually and either display “Sold Out” (or any other text message) or choose to completely hide the menu items until they become available again, and toggle the setting to “Available” to bring it back onto the menu.  You can even do this for your mobile device!

Improved Customer Experience

When customers expect to order an item and are told the item is no longer available, it not only slows down the ordering process, but the disappointment can be damaging to your brand.  That’s why 86/68 is a key feature for your digital menu boards.  

Cycle Product Availablity Easily and Automatically  

A perfect use case for 86/68 is employed by “The Soup Peddler”, a smoothie, sandwich, and soup shop in Austin, TX.  The brand rotates their soups and there are a total of 50 soups in the PoS.  When they run out of one soup, the next soup may be a completely different soup.  This is easily managed from their PoS with Menuboard Manager.  They simply 86 one soup and 68 the next soup they are bringing out in the rotation.  The menu boards automatically update, removing the depleted soup and then showing the newly available soup.  “This is a game-changer for The Soup Peddler and the main reason we have been moving to digital”, says David Ansel, Owner of The Soup Peddler in Austin, TX.

PoS Integration  

The 86/68 feature works seamlessly with integrations, so when a product is 86’ed in the PoS, the menu boards update instantly.  The integration is available with Toast, NorthStar, and coming soon, Qu PoS systems.
