A simple method to limit a Menu Item being sold beyond availability. This does not track actual Physical Inventory, but can be used for many cases such as a daily special for something like Soup.
FLOW:
In this example, we have defined 2 different soups, each with their own limited Quantity.
At start of Work Period we are prompted for Item Count: (we enter 10 and 15)
When 10 Onion soup have been ordered, we are prevented from ordering any more:
When 15 Tomato soup have been ordered, we are prevented from ordering any more:
SETUP
There is a catch with this simple Setup that you should be aware of:
You can not add a Soup, then select/highlight it, then use the
+/-buttons to increase/decrease the Quantity
