The Referrals Limited Time Offer Just Got Sweeter!
We understand that restaurateurs are busier than ever, but luckily we’re also seeing that Toast restaurants are more successful than ever. We want to make it easier for you to help your community get through this. For the first time ever, we are increasing the referral reward for customers to $1500 ($500 increase) through August! (Terms Apply)
We also launched a new restaurant offer where you can receive an additional $250 on top of the $1500 referral reward ($1750 in total) and $250/additional location (up to 5 locations) by referring new restaurants to Toast. That means that you could earn up to $2750 with one referral!
How can you take advantage of these offers?
Register or login to your Toast Referral Program account
Refer a new restaurant using the tools available upon sign in (pro tip: share your unique URL or post to social media to rack up the referrals!)
Receive your reward(s) once the restaurant you refer goes live with Toast
Ask Me Anything with Emmanuelle Skala, SVP of Customer Success
On Monday, July 26th, we sat down with Emmanuelle Skala and members of the Customer Success team to provide an update on education and resources available, what's new and what we're working on in Customer Care, and how to engage with Toast for menu and platform best practices.
We then spent time answering questions that were top of mind to you. Check out the recording below in case you missed it and stay tuned for a written transcript of the questions coming soon!
New! KDS Update: Color Assignment for Dining Options
This update introduces a configurable option that allows restaurants to highlight their on-premise and off-premise orders with different colors. Prep cooks will be able to quickly see which orders are for dine-in vs. takeout and delivery.
New! OPT Split Payments
Split payments are now available for Toast Order and Pay™! Split payments allow guests to easily pay for just their part of the bill when closing out from their tabs. Important note: split payments are only available if you have enabled tabs functionality for Order and Pay™.
