Who We Reach

They’re not just potential customers. They’re the people customers listen to.

86’d Me started with a conversation between two servers. Today it’s an independent digital magazine of original reporting, interviews, practical advice, culture and humor, written for the people who make hospitality happen.

  • A bartender’s recommendation can introduce a guest to a new spirit.

  • A server can influence a wine selection.

  • A manager can help bring a new product into an establishment.

  • A chef can influence which ingredients, kitchen tools, and equipment an establishment uses.
