Introduction to Local by Toast

From the convenience of their iOS or Android phone, guests can browse and place an order from any nearby restaurant that uses Toast. Guests can create an account to store their payment information and view past orders. Recently visited restaurants, as well as recently placed orders, can be viewed in the Your Restaurants section of the homepage.

Once an order is placed and paid for, it will flow right into the POS with no additional effort from staff. Depending on your preferred workflow, you can send orders right to your kitchen printers or your Kitchen Display System (KDS). 

Want to know the added bonus? As a restaurant operator, you'll only have to pay the credit card processing fees associated with orders placed. Other apps can charge fees of up to 20 - 30% of the total order price.
