86 Board

Mark a dish as sold out (86) the moment the kitchen runs out, so the till, waiters, QR menu and call centre stop selling it, and bring it back when it is ready again.

"86" is kitchen talk for "we have run out". On the 86 Board you switch a dish off with one click, and every place that sells it stops at once.

Before you begin

• Your role needs Mark Menu Item 86 (Out of Stock). The Kitchen / KDS role has it, so cooks can 86 a dish themselves. See Users & Roles.
• The board lists every active, saleable product, see Menu Items.

Where to find it

Open Restaurant → Restaurant → 86 Board.

Mark a dish as sold out

1. Type part of the name in Search the menu…, or find the tile.
2. Click 86 it on the tile.

The tile turns red with 86’d, and the count at the top goes up. On the POS the tile shows 🚫 86'd and cannot be added. In the option picker an 86'd option shows 86 and cannot be chosen.

Bring it back

Click Restore on the red tile. The dish can be sold again straight away.

Menu hours

A tile with a time, such as ⏱ 07:00–11:30, is only sold in those hours. Outside them it shows Out of window and the POS says it is not available right now.

Set your manager PIN

A manager's PIN lets a staff member void or comp a dish without having that permission: the manager types the PIN at the till instead of signing in.

1. Click My PIN.
2. Type a PIN of 6 to 8 digits.
3. Click Save PIN.

To remove your PIN, leave the box empty and click Save PIN.

Common questions

Is 86 the same as stock? No. It is a switch you set by hand. A dish can have stock and still be 86'd, for example when the oven is down.

Can I 86 a dish until a set time? Not from this screen. The dish stays 86'd until someone clicks Restore.

Why are drinks and packaged goods on the board? The board lists every saleable product, not only kitchen items. Use the search to find what you need.

Can someone at the till still sell it? No. The POS also checks when the sale is saved, so an old screen cannot sell an 86'd dish.
