Pennies

Now that pennies will stop being produced soon.   Does Toast have a rounding plan in place? Banks are already warning of shortages.

Looks like suggest a work around for now. 

It is a Menu Group with 2 non taxable items (+.1 and -.1) a No Print prep station, and a specific Sales Category (like Drinks or Food) called "Cash Adjustments". You would need to add this menu group (to POS only) to all of the Menus in Toast, then cashiers would have to manually add the +1 or -1 items to get to an even number.

Can we do a round up campaign for our staff?

Thank you.   This solution seems to be working for us.  Hopefully the rounding will be automatic soon.

@Rob Do we have any sort of update on this?

Thanks, everyone, for your continued feedback. This is the most recent update that I can provide! 

We’re actively tracking requests related to cash rounding and the upcoming end of penny production. Several teams are currently assessing potential solutions. While there aren’t set timelines to share just yet, this work is being evaluated for inclusion on our future roadmap sometime in 2026.

In the meantime, one workaround is to create menu groups/ menu items specifically for rounding adjustments when cash transactions end in amounts that can’t be tendered once pennies are phased out.

For example, staff can manually apply rounding items at checkout such as “Rounding +$0.02” or “Rounding −$0.03” to bring totals to the nearest nickel.

I’ve also shared the relevant Community threads discussing these topics with internal teams so they can see how important this conversation is. Please continue posting your feedback!
