Hey Toast Community, below are the latest updates for Toast Retail! ⬇️

New checkout mode built for retail

We've launched Retail POS Mode — a simple and more efficient checkout experience built for your cashiers. Every item rings up in fewer taps across barcodes, PLUs, SKUs, and search. Speed items and speed actions are configurable in the new Speed Screen for the products and actions you sell and use most to keep checkout lines moving. Now access Retail Mode on your POS homepage!

Hi @richardprather, great question! While Retail POS Mode is a new mode, you can switch back on the POS homepage to the mode you've been using anytime you'd like.

Retail Mode is a new checkout mode on your POS homepage built for retailers. From a single screen you can scan a barcode, enter a PLU or SKU on the keypad, or search for an item by name. You can also set up speed items and speed actions, plus check a price without adding it to the sale and fix a quantity or remove the last item without restarting checkout.

It's included with your POS plan, and you can set it as your primary mode or switch between it and Quick Order whenever you want. This article walks through setup: https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/Get-Started-With-Retail-POS-Mode.

If you have any additional questions, I'd recommend reaching out to our new Retail Care team (via chat in Toast Web, the Support Center, or the Toast Now app), to help support you further!

1. Toast Online Ordering pro offers a website builder but toast has no resources that can fix the issues.

2. The interface for the website has limitations as if we were living in an era where generative Ai wasnt a part of our lives and We just have to imagine being in those times and then we can work frustration free. Otherwise it will be just another headache you might not want right with signing up.

3. In case they are able to sell the solution to you, they charge a 200$ fee so that it can be correctly set up for you and you can start gaining the benefits of that services. The benefits are only imaginary since the system bugs/errors do not allow it to work for what it is made for.

4. If you run into issues, you account manager will ask you to label the issue for your customers and will ask you to ask your customers to not pay with a specific payment time. Account manager will also advise, she/he has been saying this to others, and other merchanhts have had no problems so you should also have no problems when your customers cant pay with the payment method they prefer.

5. Last reason is, be where you are.. I understand everyone wants to do better in their business. But having what u have, or not having anything at all, would still work better. But having this online ordering PRo is only going to pull you DOWN.

We were using godaddy before and our website ranked well...As much as the bugs keep popping up in their system-- and the most important thing--- if you run into issue, and you try to reprot this.... BE sure to collect proof from customer..And GUESS what happens if your customer doesnt give you proof?? Well in that case, the issue doesnt exist. ISSUE SOLVED.

Account manager wins the best ticket closing AWARD.
