Software company Toast has launched new products to help restaurants amid rapid digital transformation across the industry.
One of the new products is a business debit card specifically created for restaurants. Named the Toast Restaurant Card, it provides restaurant operators with faster access to sales as well as entry into a restaurant-focused cash back rewards programme with other partners.
Separately, the company’s point-of-sale (POS) system offers direct integrations with online food delivery platforms such as Doordash, Caviar, Grubhub, Postmates and Uber Eats.
This integration will help restaurant companies to assess and compare the contributions of first and third-party channels to their sales and profit margins.
Additionally, the POS integration will allow restaurants to update their menus and hours from one location.
Orders will now appear in Toast’s new Orders Hub interface, a single order management screen.
