POS Menu Quantity Management Feature

POS Menu Quantity Management Feature


1. Objective

To introduce a new feature in the POS system where menu items and their quantities can be managed separately from the existing inventory flow. The goal is to provide better control over the menu items' availability during the day.

2. Feature Overview

This feature introduces a new page where users can define and manage quantities for menu items (e.g., 15 biryani dishes, 15 burger pieces) with the following functionalities:

  • Add and track menu items with variations and their respective quantities.
  • Ensure real-time visibility of available quantities during bill punching in touch view.
  • This option is CONFIGURATION based.
  • Same report is going to be visible in dashboard in read only mode.

3. Key Features and Requirements

3.1 Menu Quantity Page

  • Page Elements:
    • Display all menu items with variations (if any).
    • Allow the user to input and edit quantities for each menu item.
  • Example:
    • Biryani - 15 dishes
    • Burger - 15 pieces

3.2 Selling Restrictions

  • If the menu item quantity goes below the specified threshold, the system will prevent the sale of that item.
  • This restriction is in place to ensure no overselling occurs once the stock is depleted.

3.4 Touch View

  • When the biller is punching a bill in touch view, the available quantity for each menu item will be shown next to the item.
  • This will allow the biller to ensure that the available quantity is sufficient to process the order.

4. User Stories

1. As a user, I want to enter the available quantities for each menu item and variation, so I can track how many items I can sell during the day.

  • Example: Entering 15 biryani dishes and 10 burgers with variations.

2. As a user, I want the system to prevent the sale of any menu item that has reached its set quantity limit, so I don’t oversell items I don’t have in stock.

  • Example: If I have only 15 burgers and 15 are sold, the system should block additional sales of burgers.

3. As a biller, I want to see the available quantity of each item on the screen when punching a bill, so I can easily verify stock availability before completing the sale.

  • Display: Real-time visibility of the remaining item quantity during bill punching.
