Dashboard

## Turn off exactly the part that needs it.

Availability works at whatever level the situation calls for: one product, a whole category, or every product tied to a specific option. Set stock levels per product, and the online menu updates to match as soon as you save.

- Toggle a category on or off, such as pausing an entire section of the menu
- Set inventory levels per product so the menu reflects what is actually in stock
- Apply availability by product, by category, by location, or by order type (online versus in-store)
- Ordering.co's inventory tracking is included on every plan

Dashboard

## Close for the day, or close one service, without closing the account.

Vacation mode pauses an entire store when it is closed for longer than a normal off hour, such as a holiday or a renovation. Pausing a service does the same for one order type, such as delivery, while pickup keeps running.

- Put a store on vacation mode from the dashboard
- Pause a specific service, such as delivery or pickup, without closing the whole store
- Turn a store, product, category, or option off in one click without deleting it
- Turn everything back on the same way, whenever the store reopens
