Overview
Set quantities for future order dates to keep advance orders within the amount your restaurant can prepare. For example, a restaurant preparing ten portions for Sunday could make seven available for advance orders and retain capacity for walk-in guests.
Before you begin
Use an account authorized to manage production plans for your site. These limits apply to future orders in Tabit Order and to PAD takeaway/delivery orders from PAD 12.0. Third-party future orders are not supported by this workflow.
The inventory day advances after end-of-day (EOD) is run. Keep this boundary in mind when reviewing carryover and the next day’s availability.
Open your production plan
In Tabit Office, open Menu > Production Management > Production Plans, as shown in the screenshots. Some documentation calls the setup area Future Inventory Management.
