POS - Menu Upsells for Guest-Facing Display and Kiosk
You’re constantly battling inflation and rising costs, and increasing check sizes is one of the best ways to help increase profitability. We’re bringing you a major new feature that centralizes how you manage, configure, and optimize all of your menu upsells into a single page on Toast Web.
This update simplifies your operations and gives you greater confidence that your upsell strategy is optimized for execution every time.
What this means for your business:
- New Revenue Superpowers: Menu Upsells are now available in Guest Facing Display*, Kiosk*, Toast Flex, and Handhelds—making it easier than ever for your staff to drive sales and enhance the guest experience.
- One Source of Truth: Manage every upsell prompt—from your Kiosk to your Flex device—all from one centralized location.
- Save and Publish on Your Terms: You can now manually save and publish changes, giving you the power to fine-tune your prompts down to the last detail before they go live. No more accidental pushes.
In an industry where success is in the small moments, this is the kind of unbelievable precision that can make or break a busy shift.

Test Kitchen - Seamless Checkout
Seamless Checkout transforms the end-of-meal experience by removing the need for physical card exchanges or waiting for the check. When guests make a reservation, their payment details are captured and securely stored using PCI-compliant encryption. At the end of the meal, the bill is automatically settled to the card on file — creating a frictionless, modern dining experience.
For operators, Seamless Checkout speeds up table turns, reduces payment errors, and allows staff to focus on hospitality rather than transaction handling. Guests appreciate the convenience and security of leaving without the added step of paying at the table, while restaurants benefit from higher efficiency and stronger guest satisfaction.
Key Benefits:
- Automatically processes payment at the end of the meal — no physical card required
- Saves staff time and reduces checkout friction, improving operational flow
- Enhances guest satisfaction with a smooth, modernized payment experience
- Secured with PCI-compliant encryption, ensuring trust and safety
