# Availability & Snoozing

> Control when storekit products, categories, and your store are available. Snooze items temporarily, hide out-of-stock products, or pause your store.

Control when products, categories, and your entire store are available for ordering.

## Product Availability

### Toggle Available

Each product has an **Available** toggle. When off, the product is hidden from your menu entirely.

Use this for:

* Permanently discontinued items
* Seasonal items out of season
* Items you're not ready to sell yet

### Snoozing Products

Snoozing temporarily hides a product for a set period. Unlike toggling availability, snoozing automatically restores the product when the snooze period ends.

To snooze a product:

1. Click the **eye icon** next to the product in your menu
2. Select a duration:
   * 15 minutes
   * 1 hour
   * 2 hours
   * 6 hours
   * Tomorrow 8AM
   * Indefinitely
3. Or pick a specific date/time
4. Click **Snooze**

Snoozed products show an indicator in the menu builder. Click **Unsnooze** to restore availability immediately.

<Tip>
  Use snoozing when you've run out of an item temporarily. It's faster than editing the product and remembering to turn it back on later.
</Tip>

### Snooze Reporting

All snooze events are automatically logged and available in the **Reports** section. The snooze report shows:

* Total number of snoozes in the selected period
* Total time items were snoozed
* Average snooze duration
* Daily breakdown of snooze activity
* Individual snooze events with:
  * Venue and menu item details
  * User who initiated the snooze (for manual snoozes)
  * Source (manual, Deliverect, Lightspeed, Zonal)
  * Start and end times
  * How the snooze ended (manual, expired, or replaced)

Filter the report by:

* Date range
* Venue
* Snooze source (manual vs. automatic)

This helps identify:

* Frequently out-of-stock items
* Peak snooze times
* Items that may need inventory adjustments
* Integration-triggered snoozes from your POS

### Available After

Schedule when a product becomes visible using **Available After**. The product won't appear on your menu until the specified date and time.

Use this for:

* Launching new items at a specific time
* Preparing seasonal menus in advance
* Coordinating with marketing campaigns

### Inventory Tracking

Enable **Track Inventory** to set stock levels. When inventory reaches zero, the product automatically shows as unavailable.

1. Toggle **Track Inventory** on
2. Enter the current stock count
3. Stock decreases with each order

Use for:

* Daily specials with limited quantities
* Items with supply constraints
* Flash sales with limited stock

### Availability by Day

<Note>
  **Beta feature** - This feature is currently in beta. If you'd like to use it, please ask us on live chat.
</Note>

Set which days of the week a product is available. Useful for:

* Weekend brunch items
* Weekday lunch specials
* Items requiring advance preparation

Select the days when the product should be available. On other days, it won't appear on your menu.

## Store Snoozing

Temporarily disable ordering for your entire store:

1. Click the **snooze icon** in the store header
2. Select a duration:
   * 5 minutes
   * 10 minutes
   * 30 minutes
   * 1 hour
   * 2 hours
   * 12 hours
3. Or pick a specific date
4. Select a reason for disabling orders
5. Click **Disable orders**

Your store shows as closed to customers until the snooze period ends or you manually re-enable it.

<Warning>
  Store snoozing affects all order types. Customers cannot place any orders while the store is snoozed, unless pre-orders during snooze is enabled in your pre-order settings.
</Warning>

To re-enable early:

1. Click the snooze icon again
2. Click **Enable orders**

### Snooze Reasons

When snoozing your store, select a reason:

* Too busy
* Technical issue
* Staff shortage
* Emergency
* Other

This helps track why your store was unavailable.

## Modifier Option Availability

Modifier options have an **In Stock** toggle. When off, the option is hidden from customers but remains configured.

Use for temporarily unavailable toppings, sizes, or add-ons without deleting them.
