Sorry, you cannot make updates to order from this online ordering providers

About 10 days ago Toast changed the way online orders through Toast are handled so restaurants can no longer update orders placed via Toast Platforms, online ordering and Toast Locals, similar to DoorDash and  3rd party orders. 
 
So if a customer places an order, and we make a mistake, we are unable to update the order to comp an item and adjust payment. My only option is to void the payment on the check. This is unacceptable. 
 
After 42 minutes on the phone with Toast, Fabian notified me that there are currently no workarounds and many people have called upset.  That is preposterous. 
 
Removing the ability to quickly handle a customer complaint or issue is completely unacceptable. 
 
Anyone have any workarounds they were able to figure out? This creates so much additional unnecessary friction in dealing with customer complaints.

I spoke to the product team, and the following is what they had to say:

Orders coming in from Toast Online Ordering can still be updated. Orders coming in from Toast Local or Local by Toast app cannot be updated. If you are negatively impacted by this change please disable the Toast Local and Local by Toast app order channels. However, we are actively looking for ways to solve this problem.

I am also forwarding the restaurant information for everyone who has participated in this thread to this team in case they want feedback while we work to find a resolution.

-EDIT-
My team also reached out with this update:
While we are still working on prioritizing order updates that don't require re-pricing, the following is a recommended workaround.

  • If removing or changing items on order, or changing server:
    • Void full order and recreate order on POS

  • If adding items to order:
    • Open new order on POS to add an item
    • Guest can start a new local by toast/toast local order to add item(s)
