Question

How do I install and set up my kiosk?

Answer

To install a Toast Self-Ordering Kiosk and get ready for guests to place orders, follow these steps:

  1. Install your kiosk terminal, including a printer (optional).
    • Toast Flex 14 Installation Guide
    • Toast Flex 22 Installation Guide
    • Note: If you use the Toast Kitchen Display System (KDS), your kiosk terminal should be on the same network as your KDS devices. This will allow your kiosk to continue sending tickets to the KDS in the event that your devices enter Offline Mode during an outage or service disruption.
  2. Install your card reader.
  3. Configure your desired kiosk settings in Toast Web: Set Up Your Kiosk.
  4. Learn how to use kiosk mode on your terminal: Get Started With Kiosk Mode.
