Toast Catering and Events - Allow unpaid orders

Restaurants can now accept catering online orders without collecting payment at checkout. This will create a confirmed, unpaid order. An invoice can be generated to collect payment as needed.

You can toggle this feature onhere.

Catering and Events - Catering delivery map

Restaurants using Toast Catering and Events can now draw a custom delivery range for their catering orders instead of just setting a delivery radius.

Catering and Events - Unified numbers

A lead, catering order, and invoice representing the same event now share a single number, making tracking the journey from initial contact through final payment easy. These numbers are visible and searchable on all three tables and are unique across all your locations.

Order & Pay - Spotlight messaging

Toast restaurants using Order & Pay can now configure a message that will be the first thing guests see in Order & Pay. To configure Spotlight Messaging, log into Toast Web → Front of House → Mobile Dining Solutions → Order & Pay → Spotlight Messaging.

Toast Websites - View-only menu

Using Toast Websites for your restaurant? Now, you can designate menus to show specifically as “view only” on your website. This creates separation between your website menu and Online Ordering menu and provides you with greater control over what appears on your website.

POS - Quick edit bug fix

In quick edit, when rearranging items, items that are out of stock will have a greyed-out color treatment to appear as disabled as they do in the non-quick edit experience.

POS - Edit employee checks bug fix

Previously, there was no confirmation dialog on the new POS experience for editing another user’s check, regardless of whether the restaurant had turned on the UI option to prompt users when editing another server’s check. This bug fix has now ensured that the UI option acts as expected.

POS - Show/hide button in table service details pane

Restaurants using Toast can now close and open the table service details pane in the new POS experience by tapping a Hide or Show button to the left of the service areas navigation bar instead of using the list button to the right of the service areas navigation bar.

POS - Check preview update

You can now open the order screen for a check by tapping a menu item in the check detail in the table service details pane.

POS - Item firing bug fix

Previously, restaurants using Courses would not receive a notification if a menu item sent to the kitchen was not assigned a course. When sending a menu item to the kitchen that’s missing a course assignment, the Toast POS app now displays a message requiring a course assignment.

POS - Check printing bug fix

You will now be prompted to select which checks to print when tapping the Print button on the table details pane for an order with multiple checks.

Toast Integration Partners - Push Operations

Restaurant Retail - Currency localization changes

We now support the following 5 currency symbols: $ (USD), € (EUR), £ (GBP), C$ (CAD), and CA$ (CAD) when using the retail module. These symbols can be used in the item library grid, filters/facets, item details page, and when importing bulk updates.

Toast Tables - Calendar view

We’ve added a calendar tab to Toast Web within your Toast Tables settings where you can easily see upcoming special dates, days with adjusted booking access, and total reservation covers for each day. You can also create special dates and quickly edit booking access for a day directly from the calendar.
