Toast IQ: AI for Restaurants and retail

Toast IQ is Toast's AI assistant for restaurants and retailers, included with Toast POS. It helps you ask questions about your business, understand what's happening, and take action faster, all inside Toast.

You can ask about areas like sales, labour, menu performance, guest trends, discounts, voids, upsells, and more. For example, ask what changed in sales this week, which items are performing best, or where labour and sales don't line up.

Toast IQ goes beyond recommendations. It can help you act on them too. What's available depends on your products, data, and permissions, and can include updating items, adjusting stock, marking items out of stock, editing shifts, or setting up upsells, always with your confirmation.

Toast IQ was built specifically for restaurants and retailers, and it connects directly to Toast. That means it understands your business context, data, and workflows instead of returning generic answers that ignore the systems you use every day.

Your Toast data is what Toast IQ uses to answer your questions and provide relevant insights. It is not used for general model training, and it's not mixed with other customers' data.

Yes. Toast IQ can understand and respond in different languages, so teams can ask questions and get answers in whichever language they're most comfortable using.

No. Toast IQ will not make changes to your configuration without your explicit confirmation. What each user can see or do in Toast IQ depends on their Toast Web permissions.
