What's New at Toast - October 2021

Your feedback is an important factor in determining what Toast builds next and we appreciate you sharing it with us. Here are a few features we’ve recently released based on requests and suggestions heard  directly from you.

Access to more Funding Options

The Toast Capital team was listening when our customers expressed the need for access to more funding. You may now have the option to select a longer repayment period, and also have the potential to access even more funding. This means more funding to help with the expansion project you’ve been dreaming about, or to help with opening that additional location!

Weekly Performance Email

The weekly performance email automatically sends you a summary of key business performance metrics at the beginning of each week.  This report has a new upgrade to include a projected sales forecast for the upcoming week. If you have been on Toast for more than 180 days and have been open for the last two weeks, you will now see a sales projection at the start of every week to help you make more informed planning decisions for staffing, inventory, marketing, and more.

Rush Orders on the Kitchen Display System

We heard from customers about the importance of being able to rush an order for the KDS screen. Whether you need to rush something for a missed item, VIP, or impatient customer, you can now do so easily with a few taps on the expo screen of the KDS instead of walking over and finding the ticket somewhere on the line!

Configure Tip amounts for Order & Pay

Toast Order & Pay used to have fixed tipped amounts displayed to guests when paying their bill. We heard from you that you want to be able to customize these options, and now you can! Order & Pay will now use the configured tip amounts that you set up within Toast.

How to Increase Food Delivery Sales

You can increase your food delivery sales with an eye-catching and optimized menu, offering special promotions and offers, listening to customer feedback, flexing your social media muscles, and dipping a toe into email marketing.

Toast Payroll User Login Update

Starting in November, we'll be rolling out an update to the way users log in to Toast Payroll. We expect this update to make it easier for users to access products across Toast and access their W2 more easily this tax season. Starting with this change, users will need a valid email address to reset their password and log in to Toast. Now is a great time to get ahead of that change and make sure your employees have an email address they use on file. We'll be providing more information ahead of this change in our next newsletter.

Want to get a jump on verifying email addresses ahead of this update? Use this article as a reference.
