Resturant wine inventory using Pos square for restuarants

I want the simplest way to track wine inventory on Square, I sell wines by the glass /by the half glass, and bottle. online and in the restaurant.  What would be the easiest way to achieve this?   The only way I see it is by using unit tracking and percentage or volume. for 1/2 glass or 1 glass. Does this work? Does anyone have a structure that has worked for them ?

@Marcopoloalso have not sold different "units" pulling from the same inventory, but the workaround I'd try is this: divide your largest amount you'd sell (I'd guess a whole bottle), and then section that off my lowest amount (maybe 8 ounces??, whatever a glass might be). But in doing this you'd have to ring up multiples of that 8oz, to get your half bottle, full bottle, etc. You may be able to setup a shortcut key on your POS to auto apply these multiples.

 

The trickiest thing is customer education on why the POS might display the purchase in this manner. And I think you'd have to enter your inventory by that lowest amount of quantity (8 oz) and not by the bottle.

We don't currently use Square for inventorying wine and this is a tricky question based on whole bottles and glass pours coming from the same inventory pool.  I'm not quite sure how to reconcile that in Square but maybe another restauranteur has a strategy that works.
