    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Hey Toast Community, below are the latest updates for Toast Retail!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Retail Mobile Inventory Updates&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Cycle Counts&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Item Catalog&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Manual Inventory Adjustments&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Invoice Scanning&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Front- and back-of-house operations&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Employee COntests&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;New KDS Grid View&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Enhance the accessibility of your Toast Kiosk&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;Retail Mobile Inventory Updates&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Manage your inventory anywhere your stock lives — count, catalog, and scan invoices without stepping away from the floor.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1) Cycle Counts&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Count inventory anywhere, even in storage areas with spotty wifi, using offline mode built into Toast Now. Counting as a team? Badges show who's already counted what, so nothing gets missed or double-counted. Add items on the fly to keep your catalog current as you go.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/Use-Cycle-Counts-to-Manage-Retail-Inventory?lang=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2) Item Catalog&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Add items to your catalog faster with Smart Scan — just use your phone camera to scan items in seconds, or add items manually if they don't have a barcode. Turn on low stock notifications to get a push whenever an item drops below par or runs out.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/Manage-Your-Inventory-for-Restaurant-Retail?lang=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3) Manual Inventory Adjustments&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Adjust stock with reason codes right from the floor — mark items as damaged, received, or wasted as things happen, no waiting until you're back at a desk. Use custom adjustment reason codes to personalize your inventory history and track what matters most to your business.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/Manage-Your-Inventory-for-Restaurant-Retail?lang=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4) Invoice Scanning&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Capture invoices right from Toast Now — snap a photo directly in the app instead of taking a picture, sending it to yourself, and uploading through Toast Web. AI Invoice Scanning takes it from there, so you can review and receive items into inventory in seconds.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/Get-Started-With-AI-Invoice-Scanning?lang=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;Front- and back-of-house operations&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Updates designed to keep busy operations running smoothly—for happier teams and customers.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1) Employee Contests&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Empower yourself with the insights and tools needed to motivate your team. Track employee performance and spark friendly competition that turns high-pressure rushes into staff wins.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://support.toasttab.com/en/article/How-can-I-set-up-a-sales-contest-at-my-restaurant" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2) New KDS Grid View&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If foodservice is part of your business, transition your kitchen to the New Kitchen Display System Grid View. Our new self-migration tools help you to track device status and help remotely update compatible KDS devices at your convenience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.toasttab.com/restaurants/admin/reports/kitchen/kitchen-overview#" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Learn more&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3) Enhance the accessibility of your Toast Kiosk&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Now supports enhanced accessibility features, including a screen reader and integration with external devices, to help create a more inclusive customer experience.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oMHCqir6V1fI3px5xMySAdnYjTBD8RSBc1vSdMbOdFw/edit?tab=t.0" target="_self"&gt;Learn more&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
