How to Temporarily Mark an Item as Sold Out/86’d in Checkmate
Marking Items/Modifiers as Sold Out/86’d should be done within the Checkmate Portal.
Step 1: Toggle the Available button next to the item that is sold out
Step 2: This will open a pop-up asking how long the item should be marked out of stock. The available options are:
Automatically make it online:
At the start of the next day
After a certain amount of hours (You can set the number of hours via the drop down menu)
At a custom date and time
Offline Indefinitely
I will mark it available manually
Step 3: Once you have selected your option, click on “Save & Push”
Marking Modifier(s) Out of Stock in Checkmate
Step 1: To mark a modifier as out of stock, double-click on the item photo to display the modifiers. In the item pop-up window that opens, click on the “Modifiers” to expand the list of modifiers per group.
Step 2: Toggle on the modifier(s), you want to mark as out of stock.
Step 3: You can set how many days you would like the modifier to be out of stock or select “Indefinite”
Step 4: Please ensure that you click "Push to Online Platforms" in order for the changes to take effect.
Note: Setting an item to "Out of Stock" in the POS doesn't automatically reflect this status in the Ordering Platform. If an item is designated "Out of Stock" in the POS but remains available on the Ordering Platform, any orders for that item will be declined as the POS cannot process them. For this reason, we recommend customers to mark items as out of stock directly in Checkmate rather than in the POS.

Marking Item as Available or Out of Stock in POS
Scroll within the window and Click on “Available” to have the Item active/enable or “Out of Stock” to have item inactive/disable in POS/System.
How to Set Regular Hours
Note: This needs to be managed from the Checkmate Portal.
Click on Store Management > Click on Ordering Hours > Click on Edit > Update the hours as needed
How to set Holiday/ Special Hours
Note: This needs to be managed from the Checkmate Portal.
How to Set Kitchen Prep Time
Note: This needs to be managed from the Checkmate Portal.
Final Step: Pushing Changes to the Ordering Platforms
Once all updates are made in your SpotOn back end, to update the ordering platforms:
Go to Checkmate Portal and Click on Push to Online Platform(s). The system will auto-sync every hour and the changes will push to the ordering platforms at that time.
Note: Our system will only sync if there is a change to the menu and will only push out to the ordering platforms once the sync occurs.
