What do you like best about Toast?
***Functionality***
- Cloud-hosted service means no need for an on-site server, and all changes can be made remotely.
- Changes can be saved, then published. You can change things during business hours and not worry about every small change being updated to the POS as you change settings or build menus.
- Reports are deep and customizable. Everything can be exported to CSV files if you want to use data in outside sheets.
***UI***
- Website UI is clean, modern, and intuitive. Options are presented in ways that make sense and are easy to find. Search function on the website makes it easy to find settings that might otherwise be hidden behind a couple menus.
- POS and handheld UI is clean and straightforward as well. Training is fairly simple as everything is presented clearly.
- Customer facing UI is clear and minimalist.
***Hardware***
- Professional, modern, and durable hardware. No more bulky terminals collecting dust in corners.
- Terminals are slim but sturdy.
- Handhelds provide lots of functionality including credit card payments via swipe, chip, or tap to pay.
- Handhelds can take a beating. These things have been dropped countless time but yet to have a cracked screen in 1 year+ with 8 handhelds in use.
- Ticket and receipt printers work great, are very durable and cheaper than their legacy Epson counterparts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

***Cloud Service Outages***
- Cloud services are excellent for their purpose, but when these go down during service, it can cause lots of confusion as customers try to use QR codes that are not communicating with our terminals and printers.
- Offline mode works great during internet outages, but all QR codes must be pulled to prevent customers from placing orders we won't receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
