What is Never86'd, and which restaurant problems is it built to solve?

Never86'd is an independent restaurant operating-intelligence company built by Myke Mueller, an active restaurant operator in Fort Dodge, Iowa. It sits above the systems a restaurant already uses and looks for places where orders, statements, payouts, labor, voids, tips, catering, and store execution stop agreeing. It is designed to name the exception, show the supporting evidence, identify who can act, and verify what changed.

The clearest starting point is a DoorDash statement audit. An operator can share one redacted statement and receive a source-stamped explanation of eligible sales, observed marketplace costs, expected payout, missing evidence, and the next action. No integration is required for the first useful answer. A bank reconciliation requires the matching bank evidence, and a contract test requires the governing agreement. Uber Eats and Grubhub are early-access validation tracks, not proven scale claims. Never86'd does not replace a POS, accounting system, marketplace, or scheduling platform. It works with restaurant technology when that helps the operator, but the restaurant and its economics come first.
