Restaurant tech company Toast has launched its new solution, Toast for Cafes & Bakeries.

The company claims that its Toast for Cafes & Bakeries solution will help businesses expedite their service with faster workflows and add new revenue streams.

It added that cafes, bakeries and other restaurant types can take advantage of the new features such as catering online ordering and restaurant retail.

Toast co-founder and COO Aman Narang said: “Running a successful cafe or bakery requires meticulous planning and preparation to produce a high volume of great food and drinks daily while also providing lightning-quick service during the morning and afternoon rush.

“Toast for Cafes & Bakeries is designed to handle everything from rush times to catering orders, merchandise and more.

“Whether getting a first location off the ground, growing new revenue streams like retail or catering, or accessing functionality specifically designed to make cafes and bakeries more efficient, Toast is an ideal partner.”

The new software builds on recent launches, including last year’s Toast for Quick Service and Toast for Hotel Restaurants.

Additionally, Toast for Cafes & Bakeries allows restaurants to input complex orders easily and quickly with an open view. It also helps restaurants minimise chaos at the pickup counter with order-ready boards and provides item-based redemption and offers to guests.

Toast for Cafes & Bakeries also provides a fundraising feature, which enables restaurants to select a non-profit organisation they wish to support and offer customers the chance to donate the difference when they round up their checks to the nearest dollar.

Customer engagement drives metaverse investment in the foodservice sector

COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions following the Ukraine war have accelerated automation and digitalization in the foodservice sector. Home delivery services and consumer engagement through digital channels have become essential for businesses trying to stay afloat. Foodservice companies must also cope with ESG issues, the fast-changing world of work, and the global economy heading for recession and possible stagflation. The metaverse, enabled by both AR and VR, is an important tool that can help address many of the foodservice industry's key challenges.
