Inventory Viewer

You can use the Inventory Viewer to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues when the Order Online button doesn't appear on Ordering End-to-End for your restaurant. The report is available for both sandbox and production environments in the Actions Center.

Note: Data appearing in the Inventory Viewer can be delayed up to 3 hrs from the point of ingestion completion. Ingestion completion means that the feed shows as successfully ingested in the Actions Center in the Feeds > History screen or the RTU is successfully validated according to Dashboards > RTU Reporting.

Overview

Inventory Viewer allows you to view the status of individual restaurants in Google, as well as view aggregated information about your restaurants and their statuses. The tool has four sections:

• Filters: Here you can filter the report by restaurant name, restaurant ID, and status.
• Chart: A pie chart that shows a status summary of your restaurant entities in Ordering End-to-End. For the description of each status, see Status meanings and how to fix issues.
• Restaurant count by status table: A table that shows a summary of each restaurant status. This table contains the following columns:
  • Status: The restaurant status.
  • # Restaurants: Number of restaurants with this status.
  • # Offering Takeout: Number of restaurants with this status that have takeout service.
  • # Offering Delivery: Number of restaurants with this status that have delivery service.
• Restaurant list table: Here you'll find the detailed list of your restaurants, their serving status, and other important information about the restaurants. This table contains the following columns:
  • Restaurant ID: The restaurant's ID from your data feed.
  • Restaurant Name: The restaurant name from Google Business Profile (for restaurants that weren't successfully matched, this will be "MISSING").
  • Restaurant Name in Feed: The restaurant name from your data feed.
  • Status: The status of the restaurant. For details on how to fix issues, see Status meanings and how to fix issues.
  • Delivery Supported: Indicates whether the restaurant has enabled delivery service.
  • Takeout Supported: Indicates whether the restaurant has enabled takeaway service.
  • Order Food Link: A direct link to the restaurant's Ordering End-to-End page.
  • Error Details: Additional details about an error during ingestion. For example, if a restaurant's status is "Duplicate restaurants," this will be the ID of the duplicate restaurant in feeds.

Note: If a restaurant has multiple issues, the restaurant will appear multiple times on each chart (once per issue).

Example: Two delivery service entities are configured for the same restaurant in your data feeds.	Update your data feeds to make sure that each restaurant has no duplicate delivery service or takeaway service.

Note: After you fix an issue and update your data feeds, Ordering End-to-End will reflect the changes in the UI. However, the same issue may still show in the Inventory Viewer due to delays in the report data refresh. To verify that your restaurant is serving, try to view it on Google Search and Maps.

The Order Online button will only show on a restaurant if it is within the operation hours specified in feeds. If a restaurant doesn't have the Order Online button on its Google listing and it is within the restaurants operation hours and it appears in the Inventory Viewer with the status No issues, contact Ordering End-to-End support for assistance.
