Whatever you have
- Shelf photos
- Invoices
- Spreadsheets
- Handwritten counts
- POS exports
Items, vendors, and the link between them — even migrated from your old system — built and ready when you first log in.
Want a hand? We’ll set it up with you — even moving everything over from your current system. Chat or a call, right in the app. No fee, no pitch.
Most restaurant software feels like homework.
Too many buttons. Weeks of onboarding. Extra setup fees. It was built for chains with an office to run it — and at your restaurant, the office is you.
86 feels like magic.
Your team can actually use it, the AI sets it up in minutes, and the work is handled — even when you’re away from the restaurant.
Built and used daily at Zaco’s Tacos — what follows is the exact workflow we use every week
01 — The count
Stop chasing your team to count.
86 is simple enough that your team actually counts: text reminders, not email, live progress, and a heads-up when the count is done.
Now you know what you actually have.
“At Zaco’s Tacos, my bartender counted 200 items in 40 minutes on his first try.”
02 — The order
Know what to order — and how much.
86 shows your forecast based on the last three years of sales, upcoming holidays, and what each vendor needs, so you can order from anywhere with confidence.
No more walking the restaurant and guessing what to buy.
03 — The delivery
Scan an invoice. Your menu reprices.
Your team scans the invoice. Every item cost updates, recipes reprice, and anything that looks off gets flagged — so you see the real food cost on every dish, not last month’s.
Now you know which plates are actually making money.
“At Zaco’s Tacos, I thought our loaded nachos were making money. They weren’t. We raised the price from $12.50 to $20, nobody complained, and we stopped losing margin.”
04 — The books
See where your money goes, in real time.
Connect your bank and credit cards — 86 categorizes most transactions automatically and shows you what needs review.
No more chasing the bookkeeper to see where the money went.
More off your plate
Prep
Stop rewriting the prep board every day.
Your closing count sets tomorrow's list, in the order you want it done. Cooks check items off on the kitchen iPad — English or Spanish, no training needed.
Tasks
Stop following up on routine work yourself.
Text reminders, not email, for recurring operational tasks like oil changes, deep cleaning, temperature logs, and ordering deadlines.
ReviewsComing soon
Never let a review sit there unanswered.
86 drafts replies you can review and send. See what's helping or hurting your rating, and only get alerted when something actually needs attention.
Sales
Spot trends before they surprise you.
Your POS feeds daily sales into 86, so the forecast that powers your ordering keeps getting sharper week over week.
