Can I mark an item as sold out using the AI?

Yes! Use the `update_item_status` tool. You can ask the AI to change the status of a specific item to 'sold_out' or 'available', and it will immediately reflect on your digital menus.

How do I check if a customer's tab is still open?

You can use the `list_tabs` tool and filter by status 'open' to see all active tabs, or use `get_tab` with a specific Tab ID to check its current status and running total.

Is it possible to monitor incoming kitchen orders live?

Yes. The AI agent acts as a direct bridge to the order log, meaning you can retrieve the latest incoming tickets immediately without standing at the POS terminal.
