Free Printable 86 List / Low Stock Board PDF

An 86 list for low stock communication during service

An 86 list / low stock board gives the kitchen, servers, managers, and purchasing team a shared place to track items that are out, nearly out, substituted, or waiting on reorder.

Station / menu impact helps clarify whether the issue affects one prep item, a whole menu dish, catering, specials, or a server talking point.

Use this printable for shift communication, then update your POS, menu notes, prep lists, purchasing sheets, and vendor orders as needed.

Practical setup tips

Before printing the 86 List / Low Stock Board PDF, decide what one row represents and how often the page will be reviewed. That keeps the sheet from becoming a catch-all notes page and makes the finished record easier to compare with similar pages in the same binder or workflow.

• Item should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Count should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Station / menu impact should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Substitute should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Reorder should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.
• Manager note should be filled in consistently so the sheet remains useful after the first day of use.

If the printable is part of a formal, financial, medical, legal, or compliance workflow, use it as a planning and note-taking aid alongside the official system or professional guidance that applies to your situation.
