What Toast does
Toast is an all-in-one restaurant management and point-of-sale platform covering ordering, payments, payroll, marketing, inventory, and back-office operations for food service businesses of all sizes. The platform serves restaurants, cafes, bars, and food trucks that need an integrated technology stack purpose-built for the hospitality industry rather than generic retail POS systems. Toast combines hardware terminals with cloud-based software to manage the full restaurant operation from front-of-house ordering to kitchen display systems and employee management. As a publicly traded company, Toast has become the dominant vertical SaaS platform in restaurants, processing tens of billions of dollars in gross payment volume annually and expanding into adjacent services like supply chain and lending.
