Quick Service Restaurant POS

A quick service restaurant (QSR) POS system, also called a fast food POS, is point-of-sale software and hardware built for high-volume counter service, where speed and order accuracy matter most. It typically includes fast order entry, guest-facing screens, self-ordering kiosks, kitchen display routing, and online and delivery ordering in one system. The Toast POS system for quick service restaurants includes the Toast Flex terminal with a guest-facing display, kiosks, handhelds for line busting, Toast Mobile Order & Pay®, and delivery integrations that send third-party orders to the POS. Learn more about QSR POS systems.

What a quick service POS system costs depends on how many terminals, kiosks, handhelds, and kitchen displays you need, the software you add, like online ordering, loyalty, or payroll, and payment processing rates. Toast offers starter kits for eligible small restaurants looking for one or two terminals, plus plans for restaurants that need core POS features or the full Toast platform.
