# Mark a dish as sold out

When a dish runs out, guests should see it right away. You don't need to publish your menu again for that.

## Mark as sold out
1. Open [[Smart Page › Edit page › Menu]].
2. Press and hold the dish.
3. Tap **Mark as sold out**. Guests immediately see "Sold out" on the dish.

## Make it available again
1. Press and hold the dish.
2. Tap **Available again**. The "Sold out" note disappears right away.

## Rules
- This only works for dishes that are already published.
- The change applies at once at all locations, because all locations share one menu.
- Only Owners and Managers can mark dishes as sold out.
- A sold-out dish doesn't appear under "Popular".

> **Tip:** For a new dish that isn't published yet, use **Available** under **On your menu** inside the dish.

## Common questions
**Why is "Mark as sold out" missing, or nothing happens?** The option only appears for published dishes. Editors can see it, but it only works for Owners and Managers.

**What does "Publish this item before changing its live availability" mean?** The dish isn't online yet. [Publish](speisekarte-veroeffentlichen-und-sprachen) the menu first.

**Should I hide a dish instead?** If it's off the menu for longer, yes: turn off **Show in menu** inside the dish and publish afterwards.
