A POS system can be used by any hospitality or food and beverage business that needs to take orders, process payments, and manage day-to-day operations. Toast is specifically built for restaurants, cafes, and pubs, with configurations available for single sites and multi-location operators alike.

Toast's POS includes handheld devices that allow staff to take orders and process payments tableside, removing the need to travel back and forth to a fixed terminal.

Managing online and in-restaurant orders from a single system reduces the risk of errors and removes the need to manually transfer orders between platforms. Toast POS handles in-restaurant, online, collection, and delivery sales together, covering all channels without separate systems or manual handoffs.

A restaurant POS typically provides reporting on sales, staff performance, menu popularity, and trading patterns — data that also supports VAT reporting and financial reconciliation for UK operators. Toast's reports can be accessed from your mobile, so you can check in on performance across locations whilst away from site.

Toast integrate with loyalty and marketing tools, allowing operators to reward guests and stay in contact with them between visits. With Toast all of this is connected to your POS data, so your campaigns and rewards are supported by actual guest behaviour.

Toast Restaurant POS hardware includes countertop terminals, handheld devices for tableside ordering, kitchen display screens, and self-ordering kiosks. Toast offers all of these in a single hardware range, built specifically to withstand the heat, spills, and pace of busy hospitality environments.
