With Toast, managers can log in from anywhere, using any device with internet access, to access a real-time dashboard analysis of all reports and metrics.

Toast features allow users to add a menu item, change the layout of the menu buttons, start an 86 countdown, or mark an item out of stock, all from the tablet interface. Changes are synced in real-time to all devices with no interruption the guest experience. Customers can pay, sign, and tip from the table, using Toast tablets.
