Is 86 Right for You?

Best for

  • Single-location independent restaurants
  • Owners who want to delegate counting
  • Teams replacing spreadsheets and paper lists
  • Operators who value speed and simplicity

Not for

  • Multi-unit chains that need enterprise reporting across 50+ locations
  • Kitchens that run on recipe costing and theoretical food cost
  • Operations that won't work without POS-to-inventory sync
  • Teams looking for a system with every feature under the sun

What we intentionally do not do

  • No recipe costing, invoice scanning, or POS integrations — features built for chains, not independents
  • No onboarding calls, training sessions, or implementation consultants
  • No AI gimmicks that work half the time and cost twice as much

Real team feedback

I always got blamed for counting errors. We switched to the app and magically I'm no longer the problem.

I used to have to hunt down Hector for the count sheet. We usually ended up using the old one. Now with the app it takes me 15 to 20 mins max.
