Pros:

I love Toast. I am a waitress, and whenever I apply for a new waitressing gig, I am always very please if they use Toast.

Cons:

There isn't much i don't like about Toast. Its pretty self explanatory and updates fairly quickly. Sometimes most of the aggravations come from managers not updating the information.

Strong POS system

I really like the system and consistently recommend it to all my clients. Toast POS is reliable, user-friendly, and well-suited for restaurant operations. It has become a key part of how we manage and streamline day-to-day tasks

Pros:

I migrated to Toast POS four years ago and have been very satisfied ever since. It’s a reliable, restaurant-focused platform that covers everything from front-of-house to back-of-house operations. The system is intuitive, stable, and continues to evolve with features that truly support daily restaurant management

Cons:

Although Toast POS has improved a lot over the years, there’s still room for improvement in the inventory management features. It works for basic tracking, but more advanced inventory controls and reporting tools would make a big difference, especially for multi-location operations

Reasons for switching to Toast POS

I switched from Clover mainly because of the poor customer service experience. With Toast, I found not only a more robust platform for restaurant operations but also a much more responsive and professional support team

Toast is a modern and still growing POS and restaurant management product

Toast has helped us organize and stay nimble through aggressive company growth. Looking forward to the next period with Toast where we adopt their HR, payroll, and scheduling features.

Pros:

Toast allows users to log on to its website to edit menu items, run reports, track punch-in's. In the past, POS systems were loaded into desktops in the back office. It's so refreshing to update, edit, and from anywhere because it's based off a website. The devices that Toast has selected for installation in the restaurants are modern, slim, and highly functional.

Cons:

Toast can slow down, which isn't good news when the restaurant is busy. The sales tracking is still not as robust as I would hope from a product that does so much else so well. For instance, it can be hard to get results on the sales of a menu item for an entire year.

Pros:

I like that it is cloud based and from the admin side can be accessed from anywhere, allowing for easy remote work.

Cons:

The biggest con is that you are not able to export order details into excel to use pivot tables and other excel functions. Als that when viewing an individual check on back end, it is not full screen

A POS worth your time

Positive. Our team has found most of the features really helpful to our business, and we have 5 different stores, all using toast. We've had a few bumps, but they've never ignored us, or made us wait.

Pros:

I've been using toast for seven + years, and the big reason I stick with them, is they are always adding new features. Some, I don't use, but I've always appreciated the new things, along with off line payments when our local provider has issues.

Cons:

Pricing. It's not expensive to get into, but they like to add charges ( monthly ) to everything. It adds ups but if it can make you more money, than I don't see an issue with them getting their beak wet

Similar to other POS in its class but lots of fees

We only did a trial with Toast then decided to use Cake and Square instead. The time we had it we were able to pick up basics quickly and I like the reporting options it had. The cost and hidden fees were not in our budget though.

Pros:

Toast is user friendly, intuitive, and simple making it quick and easy for staff to pick up. This reduced training time helps our bottom line and keeps things running smoothly. It also has all the integrations a restaurant would need, DoorDash, GrubHub, payroll, etc.

Cons:

The cost was not worth what you get from the software and was much higher than its competitors. While start up cost was relatively low, the monthly fees, hidden fees, fees for every single thing add up and it becomes a very expensive monthly bill.

Reasons for choosing Toast POS

We ultimately did not. We did a trial with a free starter kit that got us the equipment at no cost while we tried the POS in house. The cost is what drove us away from Toast. We decided there were other products that had all the same functionality at a much lower cost.

Good software, terrible support!

The system itself is pretty good, as is the hardware. The major problem, and the reason for the one star review, is the absolutely disgraceful customer service and support! We lost over £20,000 in the first month of using the system, due to complete negligence by toast staff in supporting us with basic issues, and set up of the toast system. We was literally abandoned after we received the hardware and banged our heads on the wall trying to get help. We was then sent 2 additional KDS screens, which was an apparent mistake, and was then told they would be taken back, but instead, Toast slipped the subscription for the 2 additional screens into our monthly bill. Further to this, I have been trying to contact several members of the toast team so we can send the system and hardware back (as we certainly won’t be using it again) and, surprise! Zero response from Toast. The toast system also blocks many QR code/mobile order payments for no apparent reason, which Toast states is a bug they’re working on, but of course, I never received answers for questions I posed on this matter. Do not waste your time or money dealing with these cowboys! Chargrill Cabin, Camber Sands

Cons:

If using multiple restaurants, and one employee works at two of them, the manager even with full access for the first restaurant, it cant make employees changes like wage or permission. That should be fixed by location, because that employee may work different positions with different permission….
