Straight answers about Board86.
What it does, what it costs, and how it fits your week — no fine print, no sales funnel.
What is Board86?
Board86 is Canadian restaurant intelligence software that turns invoices, POS sales reports, and labour exports into a weekly read on food cost, labour cost, prime cost, and vendor price movement.
Who is Board86 for?
Board86 is built for independent restaurants and small restaurant groups, especially owner-operators and general managers who need weekly cost visibility without spreadsheet work or an enterprise implementation project.
Does Board86 replace accounting software?
No. Board86 is an operations intelligence tool, not accounting software. It helps operators review food cost, labour cost, prime cost, invoices, and price trends before month-end accounting reports arrive.
Does Board86 require a POS integration?
Board86 is designed to work from uploaded or emailed POS reports, so a live POS integration is not required for the core weekly dashboard.
What data does Board86 use?
Board86 uses uploaded or emailed supplier invoices, POS sales summaries, labour reports, and inventory counts. The app stores business data in Supabase and uses AI extraction to convert documents into structured fields for review.
Does Board86 work on phones and tablets?
Yes. Board86 is a responsive web app. Operators can access the weekly read from a laptop, tablet, or phone, and mobile capture supports quick invoice upload from a phone browser.
Is Board86 built for Canadian restaurants?
Yes. Board86 is Canada-first: CAD, GST/HST, Canadian spelling, Canadian restaurant operators, and founder-assisted onboarding for early customers.
How does Board86 calculate prime cost?
Prime cost is the combined cost of food and labour compared with sales. Board86 uses confirmed invoice, labour, inventory, and sales data to show prime cost against the operator's target.
How much does Board86 cost?
Board86 is priced per location, billed monthly in CAD, with no annual commitment required. Pricing is set individually for each founding restaurant — request access to get the details.
