Pennies

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

Thank you so much for reaching out! I’m currently unsure, but as we approach April, I’ll gather more details and post the updates in this thread!

Rob- The pilot program you're talking about, is that different than the "Cash Rounding" built in option?

I asked the AI Chat and got this response- 

".....built-in option in Toast is cash rounding (rounding to the nearest cent, then you can round to the nearest five cents on the check).

To set it up:

-Create a non-printing prep station called “No Print.”
-Create one or two menu items: “Cash Rounding (Non-taxable)” with POS names “+1 cent” and “-1 cent,” set to POS only, no taxes, and the “No Print” prep station.
-On a cash check, add the rounding items until the total rounds to the nearest five cents, then take cash payment."

This is the 'work around' that is not very helpful and not at all seamless.  If I am understanding this correctly, Toast is looking to release a Cash Rounding option that will be easier to use.  Hoping that is coming soon!

The pilot program is different; all the information shared so far are workarounds. Thanks for your question!
