Why Resync All Data on Your Device?

If you have issues or trouble with the Toast app on your device, resyncing all data on your device might help fix these issues. Some of the errors you may encounter include:

  • Persistent Toast app crashing
  • The re-appearance of old checks
  • Missing or unusual Toast app activity such as missing table service areas, user profiles with empty names, missing menu items...
  • Device stuck in synchronizing mode- Issues with employee clock-ins due to synchronization delays
  • Missing menu options or incorrect menu configurations

 

If there are payments not yet synced with Toast servers or stuck on a device, do not resync all data as this will cause those payments to be lost forever. Check your device for pending credit card payments of confirmation before resetting or deleting all data as those payments cannot be recovered.

More Scenarios

For specific scenarios such as devices stuck in synchronizing mode, handheld devices showing the wrong menu, or employee tips not syncing, follow tailored troubleshooting steps. For example, resynchronizing all data for handhelds can often resolve menu discrepancies or restarting devices can address name or floor plan update issues. 

 

Additional scenarios include resolving open checks and Homebase timecard syncs by reviewing system settings or consulting specific integration instructions. Before resyncing, check the network connections to ensure all devices are online and properly connected to the internet. Additionally, clear the app cache by navigating to Settings > Apps > Toast POS App > Storage, then select Clear Cache and force stop the app. Restart the device and resync again.
