Not another restaurant app
No tablet on the wall
86'd lives in WhatsApp or Telegram. The tools you already use, not another login to forget.
Your data stays private
Your recipes, costs, and staff info live on your own private server. Not in someone else's database.
Built for independents
Not a watered-down enterprise tool. Built for the owner who does everything — because you actually do.
Speaks restaurant
86'd knows what a clopen is. Knows par levels. Knows the Tuesday after a holiday weekend is dead.

Questions
Do I need to be tech-savvy?
If you can text, you can use 86'd. That's the whole point. No apps, no dashboards, no training videos. You text your agent, it texts back.
What messaging apps does it work with?
WhatsApp and Telegram. We're adding SMS and iMessage next. You pick during setup.
How long does setup take?
Your agent is live in under 10 minutes. Full onboarding (menu, staff, vendors) takes 30-60 minutes via text. Or book White Glove and we do it for you.
Is my data safe?
Your restaurant gets its own private server. Your data never touches another restaurant's data. Everything is encrypted. We don't sell data. Period.
Does it integrate with my POS?
We're building POS integrations now. For launch, you text in your daily numbers (takes 30 seconds) and 86'd handles the rest. Pro plan includes POS integration help.
What if I want to cancel?
Cancel anytime from your dashboard. We'll export all your data — it's yours. No contracts, no penalties, no guilt trips.
