Just Eat Integration Overview

Note: Before you begin, we recommend setting up a Just Eat account in advance. You can sign up here (external link) if you do not have an account.

Just Eat now directly integrates your Toast POS and Just Eat's marketplace. This connection allows your restaurant to:

1. Receive orders placed on the Just Eat app directly on your Toast POS - Eliminate the need to manually enter orders from a tablet into Toast.
2. Manage your Just Eat menu via Toast POS - Menus, including 86'd items (an item removed from the menu because it is no longer available) are synced within minutes.
3. Reporting into Toast in real-time - Just Eat orders use a unique payment type and dining option for easy reporting and tracking.

Note: The integration doesn't currently support:

• Modifier group with a pre modifier
• Time specific pricing (items and mods)
• Defaulted Modifiers
• Overlapping menu availability
• Size Matching 1 (MMP) (Price on Mod Group)
• Size Matching 2 (PMM) (Price on individual Mods)
• Sequence pricing (MMP)
• Size/Sequence Pricing (MMP)
• Swap/Substitution Pricing (PMM)

Note: Menu availability is supported with Toast and Just Eat but it is important to ensure that menu times do not overlap. All Menus should be available at all times (e.g., an all-day food menu or an all-day drinks menu) or menus can appear at specific, non-overlapping times (e.g., a breakfast menu from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM followed by a lunch menu from 12:01 PM to 4:00 PM).
Just Eat may combine the menus from Toast into one menu on Just Eat (this is because of the overlap in menu availability across multiple menus).

For more information on managing this setup, see .

Menu, Dining Options & Settings for the Just Eat Integration

Menu for the Just Eat Integration

Just Eat can pull your menu directly from Toast.  You can manage your Just Eat integration menu by navigating to Takeout & delivery > Third-party ordering and selecting Menu Settings for Just Eat. To allow Just Eat to display a menu, make sure the is set to Online Orders: Partners.

Manage Availability Through the Snooze Feature and the On/Off Function for the Just Eat Integration

Please refer to the following article for instructions on the feature: .

Alcohol Labeling for the Just Eat Integration

If you are a Just Eat integration customer, you can now mark items as containing alcohol directly in your Toast menu. This will allow you to leverage labeled alcohol menu items from any of your Visible to: Online ordering: Partners menus. Visit for step-by-step directions to label alcoholic menu items.  After you have labeled the alcohol items, those items will be available for guests to purchase on Just Eat if the menu is visible to partners. If you have not completed this step, the items will be hidden from the customer-facing menu For more information on menu visibility, see the article .

Assign Dining Options for the Just Eat Integration

You will need two Just Eat-specific dining options for Just Eat orders to flow into Toast. Note: These dining options will appear greyed out as they are not editable and cannot be deleted.

Just Eat Takeout with the behavior set as Take Out

Just Eat Delivery with the behavior set as Delivery

Even if you have an existing labeled "Just Eat," a new one will still be created. Just Eat will use the Delivery option for orders delivered to the guest and the Takeout option for pickup orders. If you don't offer pickup orders through Just Eat, the dining option for pickup won't be used. These dining options will allow you to accurately report the orders and revenue generated by each Just Eat order method.

If your Sales Summary report doesn't differentiate between Just Eat takeout vs. delivery orders, you will need to contact Toast Customer Care directly to confirm that the dining options are mapped correctly on their side.

Manage Online Ordering Schedule for the Just Eat Integration

Hours are updated in real time. Ensure that the hours you would like to use in Just Eat are configured using your Online Ordering Schedule for Takeout.

Create Payment Type for the Just Eat Integration

Frequently Asked Questions for the Just Eat Integration

Setup and Onboarding

I'm part of a restaurant group, do I have to set up the integration separately for each location?

Yes, you'll need to follow the same steps individually for each restaurant you'd like to add the Just Eat-Toast integration to.

I didn't finish setting up the integration and the page timed out. What should I do?

You can easily access the setup steps in Toast Web when you log in. A checklist at the bottom right of your screen will pop up, and there will be a line item for the integration setup.

How will I know my sign-up and onboarding steps were completed correctly?

After signing up for the integration and completing all the onboarding steps, Toast will begin reviewing and setting up the configuration in the backend. Once the Toast onboarding team has reviewed the configuration, if you have not received any emails from Toast, please confirm the email address linked to the account with your team, Sales Rep, or Toast Customer Care. All onboarding steps must be completed to trigger the Toast team’s review and confirmation email.

When will Just Eat contact me about my integration?

You should expect to hear from Toast within 1 week. If you haven’t heard back from Toast after 1 week please contact Toast Customer Care.

What should I do if I’m currently using a middleware provider for Just Eat?

If you’re switching from a middleware provider to Toast direct integration, follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition with minimal downtime:

Do not disconnect Deliveroo prematurely

• • Deliveroo does not immediately cut off orders if the channel ID isn’t confirmed.
  • This gives you a buffer to complete the switchover safely.

Reach out to Toast support to help retrieve your Deliveroo Channel ID

• • Toast will work with your current middleware provider to retrieve this information

Maintain access to your Deliveroo tablet

• • This acts as a backup to continue receiving orders if needed during the transition.

Remove the existing integration only when ready

1. • Toast will provide the Channel ID to you, and you can remove the integration when you are ready

Ensure the new integration is ready to be configured immediately after.

• • Reconnect / configure the new integration using the Channel ID
  • Use the provided Channel ID in the Deliveroo Hub to restore the Deliveroo connection in the new system.

Validate orders are flowing

• • Confirm orders are successfully received in the new setup before fully closing out the old integration.

Menu and Pricing Management

I need to make changes to my Just Eat menu. Where should I do it - in Just Eat or Toast?

Once you are live on the integration, you should make ALL menu changes in Toast, NOT on the Just Eat portal. Menus with visibility set to Online Orders: Ordering Partners are shown on Just Eat and the other online ordering partners you may use. For more information on changing your menu's visibility settings, check out Manage Your Menu Visibility Settings.

How do I update my hours in Just Eat?

Just Eat uses your Takeout hours set via your Online Ordering Schedule. Should you need to change this schedule at any time, you can do so by selecting Takeout & Delivery using the navigation on the left side of your screen and selecting Online Ordering Schedule under the Availability header. If your restaurant offers self-delivery through Just Eat, then Just Eat would also use the Delivery hours (see two tabs in the image below).

Note: For more information on setting restaurant hours and services, check out Set Up Restaurant Hours and Services or this step-by-step guide in Toast Web.

Will items go out of stock on Just Eat menus when they are 86'd on the POS?

Yes, items will go out of stock on the Just Eat menu in real-time when they are 86'd on your Toast POS. See How to 86 an Item for a refresher on how to 86 an item.

Can I have different menu pricing on Just Eat vs. Toast POS menu?

Yes. Menu-based pricing can be set up where a burger costs £10 on Toast POS and £12 on Just Eat, for example. To change the price settings on your menu, see Build Happy Hour Menus with Menu Specific Pricing or contact

Toast Customer Care team for assistance.

Can I sell alcoholic beverages on my Just Eat menu?

Yes, alcoholic beverages can be sold through Just Eat. See the Alcohol Labeling for the Just Eat Integration section of this article for more information.

Orders and Operations

How is the prep time that is quoted to guests calculated?

By default, Just Eat starts with a baseline estimate for delivery and pickup. However, to give you the most accurate timing, Just Eat continuously updates these quotes based on:

• Partner Settings: The specific prep time the restaurant has set in their system.
• Real-Time Conditions: Adjustments for busy periods (like the lunch rush) or slower times.
• Travel Distance: The distance between the restaurant and your delivery location.

I only use the Just Eat integration for delivery, not pickup. Will I start seeing pickup orders now?

If your restaurant doesn't offer pickup orders, the pickup dining option will not be used. You can continue to not offer the option for pickup through Just Eat.

Does my Just Eat integration respect manual approval or approval rules in Online Ordering?

No, all Just Eat orders are sent directly to the kitchen.

Do you support virtual or ghost kitchen brands?

Yes, as long as one brand on Just Eat marketplace maps to one unique location setup in Toast.

Why can I not  see tax information in Toast for Just Eat orders?

Just Eat is responsible for calculating tax on their orders. As a result, Just Eat orders transmitted to Toast will not include detailed tax information. For an accurate tax representation, please log into your Just Eat portal to retrieve the tax data.

Support and Changes

Should I contact Toast or Just Eat if I am having issues with my integration?

The Toast Customer Care team can address Menu, configuration-related issues, driver questions, and past/current order questions.

If I want to permanently stop using Just Eat integration, what should I do?

The customer would contact Just Eat to request to deactivate the integration by contacting Toast Customer Care. From here, we will take necessary steps to deactivate the connection.

If I am using an aggregator to have all my delivery orders integrated, can I still use my aggregator partner?

Toast can integrate your Just Eat orders via this integration directly. Please coordinate with your aggregator if you plan to stop using their service. You should call Just Eat to switch to tablet protocol, then stop your aggregator service to prevent losing any Just Eat orders. Once you are on the tablet protocol, you can sign up for the direct integration in Toast Web using the My Integrations page.
