Floor staff sold-out toggle

Mobile-first view for marking items unavailable on the floor.

Premium

The Floor view is designed for one thing: flip items between Available and Sold Out as fast as possible during service, on a phone, without leaving the dining room.

What it solves

Mid-service, you run out of fries. A diner orders fries. Awkward conversation, refunded order. If you'd marked Fries sold-out 30 seconds earlier, the diner would never have seen it as an option.

The Floor view is built for that 30-second flip — big tiles, one tap, optimistic feedback.

Floor view on a phone — every item grouped by category, tap to toggle Available / Sold Out.
Floor view on a phone — every item grouped by category, tap to toggle Available / Sold Out.

How to open it

From Stores → your store → Floor. The page is mobile-first — open it on a phone for the intended layout, but it also works fine on a tablet or laptop.

How it works

Step 1 — See every item, grouped by category

The page shows every item as a tile. Available items are tinged green; sold-out items are tinged red. You can see at a glance what's currently 86'd.

Step 2 — Tap to toggle

Tap any tile to flip. The tile color changes instantly (optimistic update). If the network call fails, the tile reverts and shows an error.

Step 3 — Diners see the change within 30 seconds

The menu page caches at the edge for 30 seconds. So your toggle lands almost-immediately for new scans; existing scans that haven't refreshed continue to show the old state.

Give your floor staff their own Drentio account with editor-only access. Use Team → Invite. Grant restaurant: editor. They can use the Floor view but can't accidentally change prices, edit your menu, or see customer data.

Why mobile-first

Real floor staff don't sit at a desk with a dashboard open. They're carrying phones, taking orders, moving between tables. The page is optimized for thumb taps with phone in one hand:

  • Big tap targets (no precision needed)
  • One screen = one decision
  • No edit forms, no settings, no menu builder paths

Plan note

  • Premium-only ($119/mo) — the floor view is one of the surfaces that justifies the Premium upgrade for multi-server restaurants
