Delight your diners with flexible restaurant gift cards

Many restaurants choose to offer both digital and physical gift cards to give guests more ways to buy and give. Toast Gift Cards supports this, with digital cards purchasable online and physical branded cards available to sell in-restaurant — so guests can choose whichever format suits them.

Digital gift cards can typically be purchased directly from a restaurant's website or online ordering page. With Toast, you can add a purchase button to your website or Toast Online Ordering page, so guests can buy a gift card at any time and send it by email with a personalised message — either straight away or scheduled for a later date.

Toast Gift Cards can be redeemed in several ways, in person at the POS, online through Toast Online Ordering, over the phone, or at a self-ordering kiosk using a contactless QR code, so guests are not limited to a single channel.

Giving guests a straightforward way to check their remaining balance helps avoid awkward moments at the till. With Toast, guests can check their balance online through your website or online ordering page at any time.

Gift cards that connect with a restaurant POS allow staff to process them through the same system used for all other payments, without needing a separate device or process. Toast Gift Cards are built into Toast POS, so selling, redeeming, reloading, and checking balances all happen within the same system your team already uses.

Understanding how gift cards are being used helps operators manage cash flow and spot trends. Toast Reporting and Analytics allows you to review gift card performance by day, week, or month, and access detailed transaction histories when needed.
