Log in to Toast Web

1. Navigate to https://www.toasttab.com/login.
2. Enter your email address and select Continue.
3. Now enter your password and select Continue. You may need to check the I’m not a robot checkbox for a reCAPTCHA.
4. If you have multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled for your account, you may need to verify your login with a text message or an authenticator app.

Log in to Toast Now, Toast Tables, or MyToast

You will use your Toast Web account credentials (email & password) to log in to the Toast Now, Toast Tables, or MyToast apps if you have the appropriate permissions and your restaurant uses those features. 

The links for those apps can be found in these resources:

Log in to the Toast POS App on Your Terminal

You will use your Toast Web account credentials (email & password) to log in to the Toast POS app on a terminal, KDS, or handheld device. 

Logging in to the Toast POS app is necessary after the app has been completely closed (force closed) or a device has been restarted, shut down, or factory reset. 

If you don’t have Toast Web access, another user at your restaurant will need to enter their email and password before you can enter your POS access code to clock in or start taking orders. 

Use Your POS Access Code to Clock In and Take Orders

After a user has logged in to the Toast POS app by entering their Toast Web email address & password, the person who wants to punch in and take orders & payments on the POS will need to enter their 6-8 digit POS access code (also known as a passcode or PIN) on the device. Hourly employees who have not clocked in yet will be met with a clock-in screen whereas salaried employees will proceed directly to the Toast POS app.

The POS access code that is entered will determine what features of the POS that you have access to (e.g. if a server enters their POS access code, they will not have access to the manager functions that are not part of their permissions, even if a manager logged in to the Toast POS app with their email & password).

Log in to Toast Payroll

Toast is in the process of simplifying logins for Toast Payroll users - if you’ve already completed universal login or you've set a password for your Toast Payroll account, then you’ll use the same email address and password for Toast Web and Toast Payroll. If you haven’t created a universal login yet, you may have a different email address & password that you use for Toast Payroll.

1. Navigate to .
2. Enter your email address and select Next.
3. Enter your password and select Continue.
4. Most users will be logged in at this point.
   
   • If you have a separate login for Toast Payroll and you belong to more than one Toast Payroll database, you may also need to enter your company code to log in.

Note: Toast will never contact you to ask for passwords, one-time passcodes, or other sensitive information. If you suspect a scam or fraudulent activity related to your Toast account, please contact Customer Care via chat 24/7 in Toast Now (iOS or Android), on Toast Central, or Toast Web, or through our phone line:
