Our Story.
I'm Myke Mueller. I've owned and operated nine restaurants over the past sixteen years.
I know the restaurant business inside and out—and I know the restaurant tools we use are broken.
​​​
An Obvious Problem
Restaurant software is bloated, confusing, and useless. Multiple platforms that don't talk to each other. Apps my staff won't download, let alone use. Clunky interfaces built by people who've never worked a dinner rush.​
At my pizzeria, CTap, we were juggling five or six different platforms plus paper clipboards.
My 35 employees hated them.
Honestly? So did I. So I Built What I Needed.
N86 is Born
In early 2025, I started developing N86. My wishlist was simple:
one platform handling everything my team actually needs —time clock, scheduling, training, task lists, inventory, real-time analytics.
No bloat. No confusion.

​
​​​
By July, we rolled it out at CTap. Within one day, we hit 100% adoption. How? Because the app isn't optional—it's how you clock in, check your tasks, and clock out.
It's integral to every employee, every shift.​​
Clarity is Here
My supervisors have total visibility. Employees know exactly what to do. When a task gets skipped, N86 flags it and routes it to exactly the right person automatically. If this person can't resolve the 'reason for skip,' N86 re-routes again and keeps a paper trail.
No confusion.
No micromanaging. ​
Just clarity.
Real Results
Two months in, August 2025 revenue was up $9,000 compared to August 2024.
We gave every employee a buck an hour raise, and our total labor costs still dropped $700.
Better scheduling.
Less food waste.
Lower turnover.
Higher profit margins.​​​
My staff is happier.
My customers are happier.
And me?
With N86, I'm back to driving CTap instead of juggling plates.
