In this article, we'll guide you through the simple steps of adding an asset to your restaurant's virtual inventory so data like spending and the number of service requests on each asset can remain updated and accurate.
Step 1: Login to the Portal
The first step in the process is to log in to the 86 Repairs portal.
If you're unable to login, try these troubleshooting steps or contact customer support via chat for assistance.
Step 2: Navigate to the Assets Tab
Once logged in, navigate to the "Assets" tab within the portal. This is where you'll find the tools and features necessary for managing and updating your restaurant's assets.
Step 3: Click the "Add Asset" Button
Locate the "Add Asset" button in the top right corner and give it a click. This action initiates the process of adding a new asset to your virtual inventory.
Step 4: Fill Out the Basic Info Form
A new window will appear, prompting you to fill out essential details about the asset you're adding. This includes the reason for adding the equipment, what restaurant the asset is at, the asset type, service category, and brief description. Accurate and detailed information at this stage is crucial for effective asset management.
💡 TIP: Does your team frequently refer to the asset in a special way, like the Salad Cooler or the Dessert Freezer? Put that common name in the Description box to make it easier to find when searching.
Step 5: Click "Next" to Add Additional Details
After completing the initial information, click "Next" to proceed. This will prompt you to provide more specific details such as photos of the unit and the manufacturer/model/serial (MMS) information. That MMS information is used by the 86 Repairs system for warranty checks and purchase pricing.
If any of the information is illegible or not present, select "Illegible" or "Missing" as the answer.
Step 6: Click Save
Once you've filled out all the required information and uploaded the necessary photos, click the "Save" button. This action finalizes the addition of the asset to your virtual inventory, and the system will now reflect the updated information.
The new asset is now able to be searched in the portal under the "Assets" tab.
