Weather is the biggest impact on my business why no integration

Is there any integration of weather apps with toast. Read the weekly comparison reports and revenues are up from same day last week by 40%--- forgot it rained and thunderstorms that day.

@kmcateer I appreciate your suggestion! However, I'm sorry to inform you that we do not have that option available.

I have suggested this somewhere in the past, I think it was feedback on the weekly overview page. Would be nice to have historical weather information included with the sales figures, sometimes you see a drastic difference the same day a year ago, it could have been an off day, it could have been a blizzard, I can't remember.

What a great idea, us too! It would be such a great add-on for TOAST to include, I'd assume with so many weather apps out there, it should be an easy add-on?

I would settle for a sentence of free text to add to a shift notes field. For real-time time weather, put RadarScope on something. It is the only app rated for decision support. We have used it for years and it only gets better. Available on all platforms.

Funny part is when we use to track sales in Excel there was a column for weather. So even if Toast added additional text we pay for manual labor to input and the human challenges that come along with that. It's 2023 and not a difficult task to integrate a 3rd part app. It comes down to the company's ROI and how it's gonna effect sales and their stockholders

We've used CTUIT for years, which integrates weather into their prediction modeling. Lack of that feature is one of the things that has persuaded us not to make the shift to xtrachef.

7Shifts offers that on their main page. It is an awesome integration.
