Stock Alerts: Get Warned Before You Run Out

The Problem

You've run out of a key ingredient mid-service. Again. By the time someone notices stock is low, it's too late to reorder in time. You need an early warning system.

The Solution

Set up Warn and Alert levels on your inventory items. BarSight monitors your stock and notifies you when quantities drop below your thresholds - giving you time to reorder before you're empty.

How to Use It

1. Navigate to Kitchen → Inventory
2. Click on an inventory item
3. Scroll to the Inventory Control section
4. Set the Warn Level - you'll get a warning when stock falls below this
5. Set the Alert Level - a more urgent notification at this threshold
6. Click Save

Pro Tip

Set your Warn Level at 2-3 days of typical usage, and Alert Level at 1 day. This gives you a comfortable reorder window without constant notifications.
