As of June 2023, the legacy Stock feature is no longer available to new customers. Existing customers who currently use the feature will still have access to it.

If you're interested in managing your inventory, we recommend exploring our Inventory add-on. Get in touch with your account manager or contact us to discuss whether this add-on could benefit your business.

A stock location is a place where you physically store your items or ingredients. A default stock location is automatically created when you enable the Stock feature. You only need to add additional stock locations if you keep your items or ingredients in more than one place (Kitchen, Cellar, Bar, etc). Once created, edit stock locations to change the name, or delete stock locations that you don’t need anymore.
