Pros

“It appears when guests pay with "tap to pay" it tends to put a hold on the total amount, and then charges them that amount.”
CT

Courtney T.

HR Manager

“I can click on numbers and it will expand to show where they came from.”
LF

LINDA F.

Controller

“Handhelds device for contactless payment is the winner as customer don't have to head to cashier to make payment and can pay the meal from the comfort of the table.”
CH

Carmen H.

Marketing Executive

Pros

“From the restaurant management aspect cake meets every need we have, from credit card processing, davo for tax management, the cake pop hand held device is awesome!”
JG

Jimmy G.

President

“The integration for online ordering and delivery apps need work.”
AK

Angela K.

Admin Manager

“The interface because it’s very intuitive. And the support is pretty good too. And they offered me pretty good rates for merchant services.”
MJ

Mohamed J.

Owner

Cons

“The company I work for uses Toast POS to charge guests to their room number; sometimes the systems don't communicate and tabs are left unpaid.”
BD

Barrett D.

Night Auditor

“I would say the only thing about Toast that I don't like is their pricing for implementing integrations. Because even when the integration is necessary, myself or my consulting clients have a hard time justifying the additional spend over necessary expenses.”

Allie H.

Founder

“This process took more than two months and included email, telephone, and service tickets. When our payments to TOAST stopped due to this problem, we got more attention.”
BD

Brian D.

Treasurer

Cons

“I don’t like that the cutoff time for next day funding for credit cards is at 9:00PM because we close our restaurant at 9:30PM.”
MJ

Mohamed J.

Owner

“I also don't like the fact that I can't separate when I do reports comparing Mondays through the year versus like say Sundays through the year I want to be able to compare days”
TS

Tara S.

Office Assistant

“It is a serious pain though whenever we upgrade. ”
