Your programs, running themselves.

Menu strategy and beverage programs eat management hours — reading the sales mix, pricing the list, researching competitors, rotating the menu by season. 86ops takes the research, the pricing comparison, and the monthly grind and hands you the decisions. With three specialist beverage agents — 86 Garrett for beer, 86 Aldo for wine, 86 Dale for cocktails — refreshing every Sunday morning, before you walk in Monday.

Beverage program

A brewmaster, a sommelier, and a mixologist — on staff.

Three 86ops beverage agents, refreshed automatically every Sunday morning. 86 Garrett runs your beer program — tap list, rotation, production pipeline, style balance, market pricing. 86 Aldo runs wine — by-the-glass tracking, vintage and producer data, price positioning, food pairing. 86 Dale runs cocktails — recipes, spirit inventory, competitor programs, seasonal rotation. Each agent produces a full eight-section analysis covering lineup balance, production pipeline, competitor research pulled from the open web, market pricing, seasonal rotation strategy, food pairings, and specific next actions.

You get actionable recommendations — not just observations. And because the research runs every week, your beverage strategy is never stale.
