86PaperSign for restaurants
The kitchen changed at 3pm. Your listing changes at 3:01.
Short-staffed nights, 86'd specials, surprise patio weather — the listing customers check before driving over stays current, from the phone in your apron pocket.
The moment
Three restaurant emergencies the taped-up sign can't fix.
The special is 86'd
"Salmon's gone. The listing still sells it."
Menu-item edits are a later capability. The initial scope keeps this as a temporary announcement preview.
Patio night
"Weather turned perfect. Patio's open late."
Post it while you set the tables. The extra covers find you because the listing said so.

How it plays out
The Friday the fryer quit.
Illustrative example — a composite scenario, not a real client.
Millbrook Trattoria, 5:40 PM
The fryer dies forty minutes before the Friday rush. Half the appetizer menu is gone. The owner texts the assistant from the kitchen: pull the fried items, post that pasta and pizza are running full speed, and note the patio is open.
The preview comes back in seconds; she approves it standing at the pass. The listing customers check on the drive over already matches what the kitchen can actually make — orders arrive right the first time, and the phone stops ringing with "is it true you're closed?"
The next morning she texts one more line: "Fryer's fixed, menu back to normal." Done before the espresso machine warms up.
Restaurant questions
Straight answers.
Can it 86 a single menu item?
Not in the initial Google-first scope. The simulator can show the concept, but menu-item edits stay preview-only.
Can it post tonight's special with a price?
A temporary announcement may be supported where the approved Google capability allows it. Direct menu and price edits are not a launch promise.
We change hours for brunch, holidays, and private events. Does that work?
One-off and holiday hours are in the Google-first launch scope. Recurring schedule changes remain preview-only initially.
