Hi everyone,
W seem to encounter issues each time the branded mobile app is updated. Typically, when a problem arises, I open a case, it gets escalated to engineering, and it’s resolved, but with each new update, something else disrupts the customer ordering experience.
I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the following issues, and if so, how you addressed them?
Curbside: While this doesn’t affect all customers, we have a significant number of orders placed via the app where customers select “curbside.” The issue is that “curbside” only appears as part of the tab name; the system does not process these as curbside orders. As a result, guests do not receive curbside communication, and on our end, the dining option is not curbside. I've had this case open for over two months now, and there's still no solution. This issue was first flagged by our secret shopper company, and initially we thought the shoppers were ordering incorrectly. However, we now see that this is happening with regular customers as well.
Rewards: We’ve had issues with rewards in the app in the past. The most recent issue is that the rewards dollar amount displayed at checkout is incorrect, it shows less than what is actually available for the customer. However, when the reward is applied (before payment), the correct amount is reflected as the discount. While the correct amount applies, it is confusing for the customer to see less than what is available to redeem. This was also flagged by our secret shopper company, however in looking into this, there is definitely a glitch happening. I should emphasize that we don't have a redemption limit. And this is not an issue when ordering via the website.
Example with my account:

Hi everyone!
We met with Toast today, and they’ve identified the cause of the rewards issue. A fix is currently being implemented and is expected to be fully resolved within the next 2–3 weeks. This should correct the incorrect rewards dollar amounts that were appearing at checkout.

I don't use the mobile app, but I can say that the rewards bug is also present in the toast local app, it just shows 1.00 off no matter what the actual reward value is. As far as curbside, I have noticed in the local app the curbside option is shown and always checked by default, I have placed orders at other restaurants and then realized I hadn't unchecked it before sending, but it didn't matter because t it did not show on my receipt as curbside.

We don’t offer ordering through the Toast Local app, but it’s definitely a bummer that the rewards bug is showing up there as well. There was a period when the rewards issues were resolved, so hopefully we’ll see another fix soon.
The curbside issue is a strange one. For about a month, it was happening repeatedly to the same customer, but in December it began affecting multiple customers across different locations.

I think the branded app and toast local app may share some components, just my guess.

Do you use the ToastSites too? Curious how you like it. If you have a link would love to see how it is. When i tried it was extreamly barebones and I had to be a web expert to make it look flashy. So i made another choice.
I can't tell why Toast makes it extra hard to get the rewards balance. So in their own app they show the reward balance, but no other easy way to harvest that. They don't even show the balance in LocalByToast. Having a simple API would be great. I'm creating my own app but I would have loved to show the balance. My workaround is when they click on it, it will fill send a text message to their number.
