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.

The goal of Toast is to enhance the efficiency and profitability of restaurants, making it easier for them to succeed in a competitive market.
