PAY AT THE TABLE

With Pay-at-the-Table, guests can pay, sign, and tip right at the table using our tablets, while Toast allows guests to rate their experience and join your loyalty program at the same time.

TRADITIONAL and DIGITAL GIFT CARDS

Toast can customize, print, and program branded physical Traditional Gift Cards to integrate to your system. Digital Gift Cards simply require guests to provide email or phone (auto-stored in the Toast CRM) and select the amount to purchase, which are then emailed or text-ed to the recipient.

SIMPLE LOYALTY PROGRAM OPT-IN

Toast makes it easy to opt-in to Loyalty programs right at the table or counter. Pay and sign for the meal on the Toast tablet, then check a box on the screen to opt-in to your loyalty program!

KITCHEN DISPLAY SYSTEM (KDS)

Customize your entire kitchen workflow and keep chefs organized with an intuitive KDS. Segment takeout, delivery, and store orders, while timing orders. "Green" items don't need to be made right away, but "red" items need to get out now. Simply press a button to alert servers when an item is ready!

PERSONALIZED WEBPAGE for ONLINE ORDERING

With Toast's integrated Online Ordering, Toast will create a webpage that is linked to your website, for your customers to access from their devices--to view your menu, purchase gift cards, and order online.
