Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
Who We Are
Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love.
Toast Now is the app that puts the power of the entire Toast platform into the pockets of restaurant managers and operators everywhere. Using their own phones, managers can track the performance of their restaurant in real-time during service and fine-tune restaurant operations from the floor of their restaurant. This app also helps staff rapidly diagnose and fix unexpected issues with the help of Toast Customer Care. By leveraging native mobile apps, we provide a rich UX that makes it easier than ever to run a thriving restaurant with great service for guests and a strong bottom line.
Our team is agile and customer-obsessed. We have high standards for customer satisfaction, and we strive to deliver high quality features in rapid iterative cycles.
