05 · Back of House

Receipts in. Cost of sales out.

The back of house is where margin is won or lost, and nobody pretends the paperwork is fun. 86ops takes purchasing, vendor management, and the weekly cost-of-sales workbook and turns them into a clean, audited flow. Snap the receipt, the system reads it. Enter the week, the trend chart is waiting.

Purchasing & vendors

Purchase orders, receipts, and vendors — in one place.

Full purchase management with vendor association, receipt upload, and 86ops OCR extraction — vendor, amount, and date parsed automatically, with a pass/warn/fail QC score on every receipt so you know what's clean and what needs eyes. The vendor master aggregates spend, tracks active status, and keeps full history per supplier. Add a new vendor with a name and a category; everything else flows from there.

  • Receipt upload with 86ops OCR extraction
  • Automatic vendor, amount, and date parsing
  • Pass / warn / fail QC scoring on every receipt
  • Vendor master with spend aggregation and history
  • Invoice search and date filtering
  • Active / inactive vendor status management
Cost of sales

A weekly COS workbook that doesn't fight back.

The weekly cost-of-sales workbook is a spreadsheet-style entry for the ops team, backed by full historical trend charts, fiscal period alignment, and automatic population from your purchase data where possible. Food and beverage tracked separately. Category breakdowns visualize the shift. The workbook populates what it can from receipts and invoices; you fill the rest; 86ops annotates the variances.

  • Weekly COS workbook, spreadsheet-style entry
  • Historical food and beverage cost trend charts
  • Category breakdown visualization
  • Fiscal week and period alignment built in
  • Automatic population from purchase data
