Toast provides a technology platform tailored for the restaurant industry, offering a variety of products and services that help restaurants improve their operations and customer experiences. The main product is an all-in-one point-of-sale (POS) system that includes features like mobile and online ordering, gift card management, detailed sales reporting, employee management, and customer relationship management (CRM). This integrated approach allows restaurants to minimize their dependence on third-party services, which can lead to cost savings.
