Built for restaurants. Built for you.

The upfront costs for Toast are hardware and implementation****, which vary depending on your specific hardware packages and installation needs. We have flexible payment options available, including payment as a percentage of your sales⁴ or fixed monthly payment using our third-party financing partner. These solutions are not just for restaurants with great credit, they have no interest or fees, and our Easy Pay option has a 100% approval rate and no credit check. Within our Starter Kits, we also offer the Pay-as-you-Go plan that reduces your upfront hardware and installation costs through an all-in-one platform rate.

When selecting a restaurant POS system, here are the most important criteria to consider:

Toast hardware options span both front of house and back of house, to ensure the whole restaurant runs in sync. In front of house the most common Toast hardware options are the POS terminal, the Toast Go handheld device and the self ordering kiosk. Regardless of your specific restaurant operation Toast has the front of house hardware to run your business.

In back of house, hardware options like kitchen display systems receive orders directly from FOH, giving you an easy way to keep the kitchen running smoothly.

Toast software is designed to help every part of a restaurant’s business run more efficiently. Software for operations and sales includes point of sale, online ordering, email marketing, inventory and food cost, reservations and table management, and sales reporting.

Software for employee management includes payroll and scheduling, which is also centralized in the POS system.

Beyond restaurant POS systems, Toast also helps restaurant grown with Toast Capital. With Toast Capital, we finance loans for Toast customers so they can grown their business.
