Special Requests Reporting Overview

In Toast, an employee has the ability to add special instructions (or notes) called Special Requests to an item. These notes can be used as instructions for the kitchen, allergy notifications, or as specific modifiers that might not yet exist in the menu. Learn more about how to add Special Requests in this Toast Central article: Add Special Requests.

View Special Requests in Reports

You can look at Special Requests reports via the Menu report:
 

1. In Toast Web, navigate to Reports > Menus > Menu breakdown.
2. In the first drop-down, decide whether you want to see your entire menu, or break it down by Sales Category.
3. In the second drop-down, select Special Requests.
   
   
    
4. Select your desired date range.
5. Select Submit.

After the report populates, you'll be able to see the name of the special request, the parent item, the menu group, the number of times it was used, and the net amount the customer was charged for that particular special request. 

If you select the arrow (>) next to the special request name, you'll be able to see more detailed information on each special request. 

To export this report, select the download icon (down arrow) in the top-right corner.
