How can I change the time zone for the time displayed on my device?
Select your device's OS version number to learn how to change its timezone:
Proper time zone configuration not only ensures accurate device operation, but also optimizes other systems, such as payroll management.
Many customers will have devices with the Toast Launcher feature. If your device has Toast Launcher, follow these steps to adjust your time zone properly.
If your device is on Android 12 or above, you will need to go into Toast Guardian to update your timezone. Toast Guardian is a specialized application for managing various device settings, including time zones, across all supported Toast POS devices. Follow these steps below to set up your device's time zone using Toast Guardian.
Note: If your access to the Toast Guardian app is restricted or blocked, ensure you have the necessary admin permissions or consult your IT administrator for assistance. To learn more, see .
| For Toast Online Ordering: Quoted times on your online ordering site will reflect the time zone of the device your guest uses to access the online ordering page. |
If your device is running on a version older than Android 12, you may not have access to Toast Guardian, and can follow these steps instead to set up your device's time zone:
Your device should automatically update with the time and date of the network it's connected to. Note that these settings are device-specific, requiring individual updates on each device. Changes on one device do not propagate to others. Note: If you notice the times for your orders and time entries are incorrect (off by a set number of hours), you'll need to contact Customer Care to adjust your restaurant's time zone settings to match the correct time zone for your location. Additionally, discrepancies between the time zones of Toast POS and payroll systems may require manual adjustments to recorded entries for accurate record-keeping.
