AI + Ordering

Smarter order drafts and kitchen intelligence without giving up manager control.

86 Chaos uses restaurant data already being collected to help managers build better order drafts, catch price and waste signals, understand menu impact, predict prep pressure, and see what needs attention. AI prepares the work. Managers make the call.

AI-assisted ordering

Build better order drafts from the information already inside the restaurant.

AI Order Assistant can use current stock, par levels, pending orders, upcoming events, prep needs, Menu Intelligence links, burn/waste logs, invoice history, and vendor history to suggest what may need ordered and explain why.

Vendor-grouped draftsDrafts are organized the way managers actually place orders.
Explain whySuggestions can show the reason: below par, event risk, prep pressure, price change, or usage pattern.
Copy, save, or applyManagers can copy the draft, save it, or apply it to the normal Order screen.
Manager reviewAI does not automatically send vendor orders or spend money.

Example command

“What should I order?”

86 Chaos checks the signals, creates a draft, flags risks, and leaves the final decision to the manager.

86

86Voice + AI

Ask ordering and menu-impact questions out loud.

“Build an order draft.” “What do we need for Saturday’s event?” “What does ranch affect?” “Add buns to the order draft.”

Human-approved AI

The app can do a lot of the thinking work, but not the final approval.

86 Chaos can suggest, explain, draft, alert, analyze, scan, forecast, summarize, and report. Managers approve actions that change business records, send orders, spend money, publish schedules, alter payroll-related data, change permissions, or affect billing.
