TDS Order Confirmed / Order Scheduled

Guests receive an Order Confirmed text when our delivery provider confirms their Toast Delivery Services® order. The order can be accessed directly on the Toast Online Ordering order confirmation page after the guest places their order or via SMS text message. The SMS text message will be sent to the phone number that the Guest used when placing their order. 

Note: The Guest must be logged into their Toast account when placing their order in order to see the delivery map on their tracking page.

Guests who place scheduled orders will receive an Order Scheduled text when our delivery provider confirms their Toast Delivery Services® order.

TDS Driver Assigned 

When a driver is assigned to your delivery order, the tracker will be updated with the driver's contact information. 

 TDS Order Picked Up

Guests can view their order when it is picked up from the order confirmation page and also receive an “Order Picked Up” text when the delivery driver picks up their order from the restaurant.

• The map is visible even if the guest is not logged in.
• Guests can zoom in/out on the map to view the driver’s location in more detail.

TDS Driver Nearby/Driver Approaching

The order tracker will update when the driver is approaching your order. Guests will also receive a “Driver Nearby” text when their delivery driver arrives at their location and prepares to deliver their order.




 

TDS Order Delivered 

The Toast Delivery Services® order track will update when the order is delivered, and you will receive an “Order Delivered” text when the delivery driver has delivered their order.

• Guests can view the delivery photo via the order tracker and SMS.
• The tracker auto-refreshes to display the most up-to-date status.
• Guests can tap the driver's phone number to call directly.
• Guests will see the latest estimated arrival time for their order.

Toast Delivery Services® Alternate Order Status Notifications 

Guests receive texts if their orders are scheduled to arrive more than 15 minutes early or late, are canceled, or are undeliverable. 

• Order Arriving Early
• Order Arriving Late

​​​​TDS Order Arriving Early

Guests receive a text if their order is scheduled to arrive at least 15 minutes earlier than the estimated delivery time. 
 

TDS Order Arriving Late

Guests receive a text if their order is scheduled to arrive more than 15 minutes later than the estimated delivery time.

TDS Order Undeliverable

Guests will be notified via the tracker and SMS text if the order status is Order Undeliverable. This means the delivery driver isn’t able to locate or is having difficulty locating their delivery address. This status will update to Order Delivered if the driver locates the delivery address or Delivery Canceled if they cannot locate the delivery address.

TDS Order Canceled

Guests receive an Order Canceled order status in the tracker and text if their delivery is canceled by either our delivery provider or by the restaurant. 

• If our delivery provider cancels the delivery or if you have an issue, you should contact DoorDash Drive or Uber Eats for immediate help. 
• If your guest’s delivery is canceled and they do not receive their order, you may refund them by voiding their credit card payment. See  in Toast Central for more information.

 

Order Not Approved

Guests receive an Order Not Approved order tracker status and SMS text if the restaurant does not approve their Toast Delivery Services order within 5 minutes. This status will update to Delivery Confirmed or Delivery Scheduled once you approve the order.




 

Order Failed

Guests receive an Order Failed order tracker notification and SMS text if their Toast Delivery Services® order fails to be dispatched to a delivery driver due to an internal error.
