Checks can be found dating all the way back to your location's initial setup in Toast. However, note that if the check you are looking for is older than 90 days, has already been partially refunded, or needs a refund reversal, you will need to contact the Toast Customer Care team for help.
You can search for a current check directly on a Toast POS/device using the following information:
This search option helps you find a check quickly using the first or last name or the name on the tab, table, or check number. To find a check with this feature you must have the Payment Terminal mode, Table Service mode, or Quick Order mode access permission.
To find checks from a select date or range of dates on the POS, navigate to the main menu of the Toast app and then select Find Checks & Issue Refund from the Manager Activities section.
Then, you can easily locate a check by selecting one of five search options to begin and filter the search. All five search options are explained below.
Using any of the search functions listed above, the results will appear as itemized checks.
Note: All checks will appear regardless of their status (Open, Paid, Closed, Voided). Below is an example of a check that was pulled up by searching for check #2.
Once the check details are pulled up, you have the option to update the check. This will open the check to view it from the order screen. From there you can take any action you wish to, including:
You can also find checks in .
If you're trying to locate a guest signature on a closed check, you can find it on this Find checks & issue refund page. Search for the check that has this signature, then select Actions > Show Receipt. If the guest signed this particular check, it will show here (as well as the entirety of the check).
If you want to look up a check by the name of the tab, you can do so on the Orders report in Toast Web.
Search for your desired check. You can also select the download (down arrow) icon to export the Orders report and search in a spreadsheet.
If you accidentally enter the wrong number of guests or revenue center on an order that is now closed, you may want to go back and edit that check so these errors do not affect your reporting.
