What should new restaurants look for in a restaurant POS?

New restaurants should look for a restaurant POS that supports a smooth launch and helps teams establish efficient workflows from the start. Important capabilities include simple menu setup, flexible ordering and payment options, and tools that support staff training and day-to-day operations. Toast supports these needs with a restaurant POS designed for restaurants, along with integrated payments and management tools that help new teams build strong operational habits.

No need to panic over spills, slips, or slowdowns

  • Toast hardware is built for the hustle and bustle of real restaurant life, more than repurposed consumer tablets. With an IP54 spill- and dust-resistant rating, it’s designed to handle whatever your team (or your guests) throw its way, so you don’t have to keep swapping out equipment.

  • You won’t find surprise software updates kicking in during a dinner rush, either. Toast is designed to keep your service running smoothly when it matters most.

  • And if the Wi-Fi ever takes a break, Toast’s Offline Mode has you covered. You can keep taking orders and processing payments without the need to dig out the old notepad and pen.
