86 Service is a hospitality-first brand built on one of the most recognized terms in the industry. “86” has always meant something is off the board, removed, or no longer available. We took that concept and flipped it into a promise. At 86 Service, we help hospitality organizations and leaders remove what is broken, outdated, or holding them back and replace it with clarity, confidence, and performance. It is about eliminating the noise, cutting through generic solutions, and delivering people-centered support that actually works in the real world of hospitality. People First. Always. is not a tagline for us. It is how we operate, how we lead, and how we serve for the past 23 years. Talent. Transition. Trust.
86 Service is a purpose-driven recruiting firm committed to strengthening the hospitality industry by supporting its people. We proudly contribute 5% of all revenue to The Burnt Chef Project, helping advance mental health awareness and resources for hospitality professionals.
