Frequently Asked Questions
A panel of Toast team members will choose three finalists for each category based on this criteria.
Criteria for written entries:
Quality of written submission (i.e. easy to read, thoroughly explained, well-supported, free of typos and spelling errors).
How successfully does the submission, and the content in the submission, embody or symbolize the category
Does the submission grab your attention and excite/inspire/interest the reader?
Was the submission from a customer or an employee/owner of the restaurant? Did a restaurant receive multiple unrelated nominations? Does the submission in other ways embody the ethos and experience Toast wishes to associate with?
The general public will then vote on the finalists; the votes for each finalist will then be tallied and the Finalist with the most votes will be declared the winner. One winner from each category will be notified. Please note: If selected as a finalist, you will be asked to create a short video with your story to help the public vote!
