Run the shift. Know the numbers. Lead with confidence.
86’d brings daily sales, manager handoffs, tip-outs, inventory and team accountability into one restaurant operations platform — so you can see what happened and decide what needs attention next.

Discounts are 3.1% of net sales this week — 1.1 percentage points above the 2% target.
Two BEOs this week are missing deposits.

The problem
Restaurant management shouldn't require ten systems and one exhausted GM.
Too often it runs on a notebook in the office, a group text, a spreadsheet nobody trusts and tip-outs recalculated by hand late at night. Discounts and waste can add up unnoticed until the P&L.
Start the next shift with what the last manager recorded.
Review the night’s numbers and tip calculations in a repeatable workflow.
See inventory, costs and outstanding work in context.
Give ownership a clearer operating picture.
The platform

How owners and managers run the day on 86'd.
A 60-second look at what happened, what needs attention and what to do next — from the owner's and manager's side. English captions included.
See exactly where margin is slipping — in dollars.
86'd compares discounts, comps, voids, refunds, waste and inventory variance against your targets, and estimates the weekly, monthly and annualized impact. Every estimate is labeled as an estimate, and time saved is never added to cash amounts.
"Your current discount rate is approximately 1.1 percentage points above your configured target."
Sample data from independent sample periods: one week and one calendar month of a demo restaurant, measured against its configured targets (discounts 2% of net sales). Annualized = the monthly sample × 12. Estimates, not guaranteed savings.
Why 86’d
Built around how a restaurant actually runs a day.
86’d works alongside your POS, payroll and accounting systems — it doesn’t replace them. It does include its own scheduling and team tools, so some restaurants use it instead of a separate scheduling app.
