GGB Eighty-six (86'd)
The kitchen call that an item is unavailable. Every avoidable 86 is contribution walked away from.
To 86 an item is to declare it sold out or unavailable for the rest of service. Some 86s are good discipline, such as pulling a dish that fails standard; most are prep or ordering failures that convert demand you already earned into apologies. Tracking what was 86'd, when and why, turns a nightly annoyance into a fixable pattern.
Illustrative: the signature dish carries AED 40 of contribution and gets 86'd with 20 orders of demand left in the night. That is AED 800 of contribution walked away from in one service; twice a week, it becomes AED 83,200 a year.
