Schedules in one place. Inventory in another. The rest in your head. 86 Chaos brings it together—from the first prep list to the final close.
A manager’s brief, daily priorities and operational alerts. One place to see what needs attention before the rush begins.
Bring schedules, availability, time-off requests and shift changes together. Connect the plan with time clocks, timesheets and labor visibility.
Connect counts, invoices, ingredient costs and purchasing. Track waste, review scanning results and plan orders around the stock you actually have.
Keep recipes, portions and ingredient costs connected. Understand menu profitability and give your kitchen clear instructions for consistent execution.
Give prep, opening routines and closing checklists a clear owner. Keep labels, maintenance and daily responsibilities part of the same working day.
Bring daily closing, labor costs and financial reports into view. Exports connect approved records with your accountant and chosen payroll provider.
People make the place
Onboarding, restaurant manuals, short lessons and practical skill sign-offs help employees learn the way your restaurant works. Training records and credential-renewal reminders keep everyone current.
Connect the team with messages, announcements, shift communication and 86 alerts—so important information has a place to go.

Our commitment to independent operators
You have enough unpredictable costs. Your software shouldn’t be another one.
No hidden charges. Clear subscription terms, included features and applicable usage limits before you subscribe.
No long-term contracts. Affordable by design, with straightforward information to help you choose what fits your restaurant.
Optional services, third-party charges and AI or scanning allowances disclosed clearly. No misleading pricing tricks.
Guided self-service setup and resources help you get started. Hands-on onboarding, setup, data migration, custom configuration and personalized training by Chilton App Works personnel are optional professional services and may carry separately quoted charges, approved by you in advance. Applicable integration, payment-processing and other third-party costs will be disclosed separately.
Subscription details will be announced closer to launch.
Your restaurant. Your choices.
86 Chaos is built to work alongside your existing POS and payment setup where technically supported. Supported connections are confirmed before you rely on them.
Payroll-ready records and exports for your accountant. Specific POS, accounting and payroll connections are listed once verified; not every system is supported.
YEARS, APPROXIMATELY.
ONE VERY REAL PERSPECTIVE.
The experience behind 86 Chaos
86 Chaos was conceived by a restaurant professional with approximately 25 years of kitchen experience. The pressure of service. Tight budgets. Scheduling headaches. Inventory, food costs and keeping a team on the same page.
That firsthand perspective is shaping a platform built with respect for the people doing the work—and the independent businesses they keep running.
