At Toast we power successful restaurants of all sizes. By combining point of sale, front of house, back of house, and guest-facing technology with an unrivaled commitment to customer success we enable our community of restaurateurs to delight their guests, do what they love, and thrive.
Many people around you may never truly understand the creativity, passion, and pride that it takes to power a successful restaurant. We understand how hard it is and, in fact, we've faced the same challenges here at Toast.
When Aman, Steve, and Jon first launched Toast as a consumer payments app for restaurants they quickly found that they were blocked at every turn by tired, dated, legacy point of sale systems and that restaurants of all sizes were in search of a better solution. One that was easy to deploy, could be accessed from anywhere, and intuitive to use.
In July of 2013 they launched Toast Point of Sale. Built on Android and based in the cloud, Toast was quickly embraced by the restaurant community in our hometown of Boston and grew quickly from there. Through word of mouth the growth of our community continued to accelerate. In fact, to this day, 1 out of every 5 new restaurants on Toast comes as a referral from an existing customer.
Today we remain passionately focused on serving our community of restaurateurs. Whether it is in person at our community events, Food for Thought, or through an online class available through Toast University, we're committed to empowering the artists, entrepreneurs, and creators that power our industry and serve our community.
