Install the Toast App on an Android Mobile Device 

Need to install the Toast app to view the Toast POS app on another Android device? Your Android mobile device can act as an emulator to view the Toast app in the event that you don't have access to a "Point of Sale (POS)" device. Emulators are helpful if you want to view your menus as they would appear to your staff or review other features of the Toast app.

You should not use an Android mobile device/phone (or any other non-Toast hardware) to operate your business, take payments, or use Toast POS. Furthermore, you shouldn't use an Android mobile device to try to send orders to the kitchen outside of your restaurant. Orders will not print to the kitchen if your device is not on the same wireless network as your printers, but may appear on a kitchen display screen. 
 

1.  Begin by opening the web browser on your mobile device and entering the APK link  into the navigation bar. Once you see the message below, select Settings.
2. Toggle the Allow from this source setting to on before returning to your web browser.
3. You'll see the message below at the bottom of your browser window. Select OK to begin the download.
4. Once the download is complete, select Open then Install to begin installing the Toast app.
5. Once the app has been installed, select Open to open the Toast app.
6. Enter your Toast login credentials to begin using the Toast app. The installation is now complete!

The Toast app is not available for iOS.
