Prepare to Install Your Toast Flex 22

Like all our hardware, we designed the Toast Flex 22’’ to meet the demands of busy restaurants, making it durable enough for everyday spills, grease, and heat. More to love? The lightning-fast processing speeds, intuitive layout, and sleek design – all thoughtfully engineered by our team of restaurant experts to help you do what you do best. We hope you’re as excited about this as we are.

Use this article to install your new hardware. With intuitive, simple packaging, color-coded wiring, and easy step-by-step instructions, most people should be able to complete installation in under 30 minutes. 

Begin by preparing for installation:

• Clean your counter, and make sure your counter space is cleared and wiped down.
• Unplug your current POS hardware and remove it from the counter so your counter space is completely clear.
• Wipe down the countertop with the alcohol wipe provided in your box.

Starting with a fresh surface makes it easier to install!

Toast Network Setup

Your Toast network (network managed by Toast) must be set up and established prior to connecting any of your hardwired or wireless devices. This network is created by connecting your Toast-provided Cisco Meraki router to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) modem. Your Meraki router must be connected directly to your modem, not through an intermediate device. This ensures that the Toast POS is isolated on its own secured subnet and meets PCI compliance standards (learn more: ).

For more information on setup and installation visit . In this article you will be able to select your router for next steps.
