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.
Orders are critical to all restaurant operations and drive all of Toast’s restaurant products from our point-of-sale systems to our off-prem dining experiences. Orders Platform enables best-in-class technology teams to build innovative products and experiences on top of Orders’ restaurant platform.
