Setting Product Inventory

You have now listed all your products and they are now visible on the app. For a customer to purchase your product, you need set the inventory levels. This has to be done each day that you want to sell.

1
How inventory works

One major difference between ReMeal and other food platforms is the concept of inventory. In other platforms, you do not need to set how many of a product there is, but rather whether it is available or not.

In ReMeal, each listing has a defined inventory level. This means that once it reaches zero, it is sold out and customers will not be able to purchase it.

2
Setting your inventory each day

To set your inventory, navigate to the Inventory page. For the ReMeal Seller app, go to the Inventory tab. Here you will see a list of all your products that are marked as Visible.

Because the levels are reset at the end of each day, inventory has to be input each day in order to sell.

A typical workflow can consist of:

  • Towards the end of the day, you will have an idea how much surplus food you have left.
  • You will then update the inventory levels for each product.
  • ReMeal users will then be notified that your products are available to purchase.

3
Adjusting inventory levels

The inventory levels can be adjusted at any time. This should be done especially when products are purchased in-store to avoid overselling.

This is one of the main reasons why ReMeal recommends to list your products as Mystery Bags. Because Mystery Bags contain a random selection of items, there is less of a need of keeping ReMeal inventory levels and in-store levels fully synced.
