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

“Advanced customization can require technical expertise, and the selection of themes, extensions, and third-party integrations is more limited than larger commercial platforms.”

Vighnesh A.

Business Partner

“I also appreciate the flexibility to customize it based on business needs and maintain full control over customer data.”

Arkajit D.

CTO

“The main reason we went with it is that it's open source, so we could tweak a few things to fit how we work without hiring a developer for every little change.”

Gurkirat S.

Fullstack Developer

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

“Customer support is also more limited than what you'd get from fully managed commercial solutions.”

Arkajit D.

CTO

“There is sometimes a caching issue if we change the javascript but it doesn't immediately appear in the browser.”

Chirag S.

Sr. Software Engineer

“Certain customization options can be challenging to configure without technical expertise or developer support”
