Catering and Events FAQ

Why is my Catering Online Ordering link not working?

If your Catering Online Ordering link is not working, review the link for any typos or errors when adding it to your website. If the link is correct, please contact Customer Care.

Revenue posts on the day of the event. 

Where can I find reporting on discounts?

How are tips accounted for with Catering and Events?

Is there a location picker?

We’re working on it! This will eventually be available for all. You can opt in on the Catering Online Ordering settings page.

Is there tax-exempt ordering?

Yes, you can mark a catering order as tax-exempt. Before an order is paid, you can check the Mark Order as Tax Exempt box under the list of items on the order.

How do prep times work?

Is there a menu visibility setting?

There is no menu visibility setting. Menus are only set within Menu Management on the Catering Online Ordering page.

Do I need to have Catering and Events to use Catering Online Ordering?

Yes. Catering Online Ordering is part of the Catering Online Ordering Pro package. Navigate to Toast Shop to learn more!

Is there zoned delivery?

We offer only one delivery radius, but you can adjust it by navigating to Catering & events > Delivery setup > Delivery area. This will allow you to avoid waterways, highways, town lines, etc.

Why are my catering delivery orders showing up as pick-up orders?

Why are my dine-in checks appearing on my Catering calendar?

Your dine-in checks may be appearing on your Catering calendar because you have Dine-In selected from the drop-down menu.
