Check out more about the updates in the video and descriptions below:
Food Runner Fulfillment is a new KDS feature launching on August 27, 2025 that enables item-level tracking at expo stations. It allows food runners to mark individual items on a ticket as delivered, instead of having to wait to close out an entire ticket, so everyone knows what has—and hasn't—been served.
This helps to provide clarity, better guest experiences, and overall peace of mind—especially during the chaos of busy rushes. Runner fulfillment is a critical enhancement for multi-course restaurants, family-style or shared plates concepts (such as tapas, hot pot, sushi, and dim sum), and many other business types.
For more information about enabling this feature, see Food Runner Fulfillment on KDS in Toast Central.

Select from a variety of styles and weights to match your brand and create a more personalized, polished experience for your guests. You can also now customize your Branded Mobile App’s fonts and colors right inside the app editor.

Re-introducing the new product mix report! We have listened to your feedback and are excited to share an updated report that helps you answer the key questions you need. Enhancements include:
In September 2025, all customers will be moved over to the new Product Mix Report. Ready to access it now? You can access the new Product Mix anytime using the banner at the top of your Product Mix Report page. The current (legacy) Product Mix Report will remain available through the end of 2025.

On the classic menu group and menu item details pages, the behavior of the table in Modifier Groups has changed. To prevent you from creating a modifier group that has no modifiers, which causes problems for third-party ordering integrations, selecting Add now takes you to the modifier group details page. Bulk Add New Modifier Groups has been removed for the same reason. This change will go live on August 26, 2025 for all Toast POS users.
Learn more about adding Modifier Groups and Modifiers with this Toast Central article.

I am the main account holder for all the locations, and have signed up for other betas with no issue. Odd.

Very odd, that link works fine for me. Can you get to the test kitchen at least https://www.toasttab.com/customers/shop/test-kitchen then find the beta from there.

Some show up, but not the translation:

Hey there! I want to help with this — can you shoot an email to communityupdates@toasttab.com so we can look into it? Thank you!

I figured out what is going on - we are already in the beta. I thought this was translating the menu items themselves, not just the KDS/terminal language. Once Toast can translate our menu items, then I'll get excited!
