Waiting sucks. So, our app users don’t wait. Use it to get on the WAITLIST without having to be at the restaurant. You’ll receive updates as you move up the list and you can time your arrival for when your table’s ready. ORDERING Order ahead – your table will be waiting for you and your food won’t be far behind. Need a refill of something – order it via the app when you’re seated in the restaurant. Order takeout – it will be waiting for you when you arrive. PAYMENT No need for your check or your server, use the app to pay and go.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Inspired Rewards at none against 86's 3. Inspired Rewards also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). 86's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
