Targeted control of items- clever instead of always available
Not every item should be bookable at all times, in all places and under all circumstances. Hypersoft gives you full control: control when, where and how items are offered - automatically, time-controlled or spontaneously. This allows you to avoid errors, protect your processes and flexibly adapt your product range to the time of day, availability or strategic considerations.
Several intelligent tools are available to you:
Article blocking list: Enables the spontaneous blocking of individual articles - e.g. if ingredients are missing from a recipe.
Time-controlled articles: Specify when an article can be booked - based on date, time or series dates.
Extended time control: Allow public holidays to affect the previous days and use additional options.
Availability manager: Ideal for automatically stopping bookings when quantities are scarce or limited.
Stock management: Monitor article quantities systematically and use the current stock as a sales condition.
Item master options: In the item properties, you centrally control the saleability and life cycle of items - for example, as planned, active or discontinued items.
All these options help you not only to organise sales, but also to design them in a targeted manner - tailored to your range, strategy and operating model.
Best practice: Actively manage article availability
In many companies, all items can always be booked - regardless of time, stock or actual availability. That sounds convenient, but it opens the door to incorrect bookings, dissatisfied guests or even deliberate misuse.
Hypersoft offers you the opportunity to consciously organise the availability of your articles - for more control, clarity and efficiency.
Examples from practice:
Should daily specials and promotional items only be booked at certain times? Use the time-controlled article release - this eliminates the need for manual blocking.
Popular products in limited quantities? The availability manager stops the sale automatically as soon as the quantity is reached - no more recounting necessary.
Critical prescription items no longer in stock? Products can be excluded from sale at lightning speed using the product blacklist - e.g. if the bar has run out of limes.
Shop operation with warehouse management? The stock level can optionally act as a sales condition - and protects against fraud through "sale without goods".
Our tip:
Use the available systems not just reactively - but as active sales management. This ensures that your offer matches your planning, your stock levels and your personnel situation at all times.
After all, few things frustrate guests more than the following situation:
Everyone at the table has made their choice, is happy - and then the service arrives with a sentence like:
"Unfortunately we don't have that today... I'll ask... Strawberry cake only without strawberries..."
Such moments destroy anticipation, cost trust and make even top products look old. With Hypersoft's digital tools, you can effectively prevent such scenes: guests only see what is actually available - and your team is relieved.

*1=When the cash desk is accessible, or within the opening hours.
*2=Per option switch the stock can be taken into account and without stock the sale is stopped.
*3=Not supporting the stock when booking and in other situations is part of the stock management concept and protects you from fraud. That's why there are the other systems, like the availability manager.
