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?

No, Windows PC

Bluestacks is still available for windows, what issue are you having?

Not according to Toast Tech support where they took control of my computer and basically said it was going away and there it was (gone).

• @glcherrick make sure to download Amazon App Store off windows and install the wsa (windows subsystem for android) then download wsa sideloader or any apk loader and add toast to the subsystem. Just make sure under dev options you have minimum width set to 1000 px or greater otherwise it won’t render correctly (also toast requires permissions
• display notifications over other apps
• location -always 
• allow toast to install apps from unknown sources
• basically allow everythin

If you need help feel free to send a pm

Yeah, Toast needs a simulator to be an interface on the home page that is a simple as a mouse click to start.  This is too complicated and unwieldy for the average operator.  Most of us are not programmers or geeks in the technical sense.  As well, when remote we need to be assured that changes made are complete without having to source an onsite personnel for validation.  This can only be done by seeing those changes in practice.
