What differentiates Toast POS from other similar products?

The universal plug if you will. They have the ability to integrate with a wide range of products so you can utilize the tools you prefer. They are also constantly developing and updating software so your software is always up to date. You can also use their software on any android device. The product team is also very innovative and receptive to feedback. The way that their product specialists work is that they come up with their own ideas pitch it and develop new products on their own and have to demonstrate value so they are always cutting edge

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to integrate multiple platforms and monitor guest experience

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes in efforts to be PCI compliant they go to far with restrictions that are unnecessary

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Have an open mind, don’t expect it to be just like your last POS. Also take the time to understand the entire structure of the product. Use the resources they provide. The software has so many capabilities so take the time to learn and understand what you are using. Don’t call customer care until you have a basic understanding of your issue; because of the immense capabilities it is easier for them to help you if you tell them the area in which you have issues. Just like you wouldn’t go to a mechanic with a flat and say my car doesn’t drive and he asks what’s wrong and you say I don’t know.
