The Restaurant Research Hub is a community of restaurant professionals who preview Toast products and share hands-on feedback with the Toast Research and Development (R&D) team. Members join short conversations and feedback sessions and choose which activities to take part in.
Feedback goes directly to the teams designing and building Toast, and every session comes with a gift card as thanks. The Restaurant Research Hub is open to US-based restaurants.
Get started with the Restaurant Research Hub
You can now archive retired or unused devices in Device Hub in Toast Web so they no longer clutter your device list. Archiving a device removes it from your default Devices view. Archiving hides the device but doesn't delete any of its data. If an archived device comes back online, it returns to your list automatically.
To archive a device, navigate to Toast Web > Device Hub, select a device with an Inactive status, select Archive, and confirm in the dialog. To see archived devices later, set the Device status filter to Archived.
Note: Only devices with an Inactive status can be archived. A device becomes Inactive after it has been offline for more than two days.
Availability: All Toast locations, rolling out starting October 6th, 2026.

The Reset delays at end of business day setting clears takeout and delivery delays automatically at closeout. When the setting is enabled, one day's delays won't carry into the next day's quote times. You can enable the setting in Toast Web or on your Toast POS.

Beta and early access programs give you access to features still in development. Your feedback helps guide what Toast builds next.

Notify lets guests sign up for an alert when a Toast Tables time slot is fully booked. If a matching spot opens, Toast Tables texts those guests a booking link, and the first guest to book gets the table.

Self-Service Waitlist Stand is a new Toast Tables mode that lets walk-in guests add themselves to your waitlist from a tablet at your location. Guests enter their information on the tablet and join the waitlist without help from an employee.
Self-Service Waitlist Stand shortens the line at the host stand during busy periods and gives locations without a dedicated host a way to run a waitlist. Your team gets more time for seating and service. You choose whether guests see the current wait time and their place in line.
Availability: All Toast locations, rolling out starting October 5th, 2026.

The new Offline History page in Toast Web shows when your online ordering or delivery channels went offline, how long each outage lasted, and what caused it. Offline History helps you spot patterns, address issues sooner, and keep orders flowing.
The new Team tab in Toast Web brings your staff tools together. The central Team Overview page shows employee performance, shifts, and sales in one view, and Toast IQ surfaces insights and next steps right where you work.
House accounts let guests who carry an ongoing balance, like corporate clients or local businesses, charge orders now and pay later. With the Bulk Invoice tool, you can generate monthly invoices for many house accounts at once, let guests pay by credit card, and process payment across invoices with a card on file in one step.
To get started, navigate to Toast Web > Finance > Payments > House accounts. Choose a transaction range and due date, generate the invoices, and send them from the preview by email or text.
Note: You need the 4.11 House Accounts permission. House accounts aren't supported for Toast Online Ordering and aren't shared across locations or regions.

The following October 2026 update is designed to improve how guests interact with your business.
If you have more than one location, guests sometimes land on your online ordering page without choosing a location first, which can lead to orders placed at the wrong location. When Order Location Confirmation is enabled, guests who arrive from anywhere other than the location picker are asked to confirm their location before ordering.
To enable the setting, navigate to Toast Web > Takeout & Delivery > Branding & customization > Menu Page Configuration and enable Order Location Confirmation. The setting is disabled by default.
