Q: I offer a combination of retail and food service. Can Toast handle both?

Frequently asked butcher shop questions

Is Toast just for restaurants?

No, Toast is designed to work for retail, food service, or the increasing number of concepts that include both.

While you’ll currently find Toast in 171,000+* restaurants, we’ve also served thousands of retail stores (and counting!). Our experience in the restaurant industry has allowed us to create a retail platform that can also meet the evolving needs of bottle shops that offer tastings, tap rooms, events, or even food service.
