Pennies

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

I was able to reach out to my team to gather more information. I found out we are actively developing a proper rounding-to-the-nickel solution, rather than relying on workarounds. Below is what we are doing to solve: 

• The solution is currently in active development
• A pilot program is planned for early April
• Broader availability is expected later in Q2
• We’ll proactively reach out to customers who are selected for the pilot

We’ll keep you updated as we progress through the pilot and toward full release!

-EDIT-
We are planning to launch this Beta in May!

Thanks for the update, Rob. I know that you're probably as in the dark as we are, so I appreciate the sleuthing and advocating for us! Any ongoing updates will be appreciated, for sure. I look forward to seeing what Toast comes up with.

Thank you for an update!!  I appreciate the communication.

Thank you for actively working on this solution.  As a restaurant owner, we would also be very interested in being allowed to round to the nearest quarter or even Dollar.  It seems like that would be the same type of solution.  Allowing restaurants to choose what rounding point they would like would allow them to eliminate some or all of their change they handle.  Which is very exciting to many of us!

Hi Rob,
How does one sign up to be considered for the pilot?
