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.”

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.”

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.”

“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.”
