Pros

“The retail inventory UI makes it easy to work through inventory trends and identify products for reorder.”

Michael B.

Manager

“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.”

Courtney T.

HR Manager

“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.”

Carmen H.

Marketing Executive

Pros

“We work and the next day our tips are in our accounts. ”

Elizabeth L.

WAITRESS

“It has allowed for us to cut down the amount of cash that is needed at the store and also the time it takes to pay out daily tips owed for the day. ”

Judi S.

Accountant

“Now I can use Kickfin which means less bank runs, less cash on hand in the restaurant, and servers don’t have to be carrying around cash and visiting their banks for deposits.”

Brad R.

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.”

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.”

Brian D.

Treasurer

Cons

“The only con i can see is that i am accustomed to receiving cash for my nights, so that getting cash right away is sort of a bummer.”

Elizabeth L.

WAITRESS

“Replenishments are done almost daily, so this makes it confusing when you're having to keep a different $$ amount than what is really needed.”

Trevor M.

General Manager

“We used to spend loads of time counting money and hunting down our employees to give them their cash at the end of their shift.”

Sarah F.

Food Service and Beverage Manager
