Test view menu while building

[SmokeyBrian]

Hello,  I am new to Toast and am currently building a menu for our new restaurant.  I think I have figured out modifiers and pre modifiers but would like to look at how it will appear on the terminal, which we don't have yet.  Is there a way to see the layout from my PC or do I have to keep building the menu and hope it all works out once the equipment is installed?

Yes. I picked Google Nexus 10.

Ok, if you haven't already, on your laptop open  toasttab.com/link/apk to download  the toast apk to your computer, then just drag that apk onto the running virtual device.

Still not in. Now I need to grant permissions under Device Setup on Toast Web which I am unable to find.

Where are you seeing that? After running the app for the first time? Can you share a picture?

I got it. I logged in using the manager number instead, even though of course I am trying to log in to the employee number to see what it looks like on their end. Once I was in, I was able to make the necessary changes, and then log out and log back in under an employee number.

All in all, setting up a dummy terminal took me almost 3 hours.  This is the first POS I've ever used that hasn't had a dummy terminal as a native option. I'm not sure who you are or if you have a line into the Toast upper brass, but WHOA, this needs to be fixed. It is absurd for restaurant owners to swallow up a live terminal in order to run tests, make changes, and troubleshoot issues...it is equally absurd (and unfair) for them to spend hours programming a workaround. Anyway, glad you were here and thanks for your help!
