The Toast Go's are a pain to work outside in the sun working a fast food drive thru. I've been asking since I joined on in 2019. They told me they were working on one, but I have yet to an inkling of one. What have we got? Two more variations of a cell phone sized device that only works as a device to basically charge tickets out. Trying to take orders quickly on one is a pain.
