Setting up inventory

Inventory in Tebi tracks stock for the products that matter most to you.

Stock goes down as you sell, and Tebi stops selling a product when it runs out.

You do not need to track everything. Start with the products where running out causes problems.

Use it for daily specials and prepped items, like a set number of pastries.

Use it to stay on top of your drinks list.

Add a purchase price to get a clearer view of your stock value and margins.

In the Back Office, go to Products.

Select the products you want to track.

Select Edit products.

At the bottom of the side panel, set Track inventory to Yes.

In the same panel, choose whether these products keep selling when they are out of stock.

Choose whether the stock count shows on the sales screen.

In the Back Office, open the product.

Go to the Inventory section and select the pencil icon.

Choose Count, and enter how many you have in stock.

Add the purchase price on the product page. Tebi uses it to calculate the value of your stock.

Save the product to finish.

By default, a product stops selling when its stock reaches zero.

When that happens, its tile on the sales grid turns off, so nobody can add it to an order.

By default, the stock count also shows on the sales screen.

Open a sale.

Long press a product tile.

Select Start tracking product inventory.

Select Adjust inventory, then add stock, remove stock, or do a count.

The stock count goes down when the product is added to a sale.

If the product is removed from the sale, the stock goes back up.

You can sell different sizes from the same stock, like a bottle and a glass of the same wine.

Start with the main product, and set up its inventory.

Choose the unit you count in, like Bottle, and enter how much one bottle holds.

Select Add another size.

Link an existing product, or create a new one, like a glass of house red.

Enter how much stock each glass uses. Every glass you sell now counts down from the same bottles.

Add each size to your sales grid. Each tile shows how much stock is available, based on sales from every size.

Open the product, and go to the Inventory section.

Disable inventory tracking by clicking on the bin icon.

Keep in mind that this resets the stock count.

Once your inventory is set up, learn how to keep your stock up to date.
