​Revenue Centers for Order with Google

Order with Google shares the same Revenue Center settings as Online Ordering. Online orders can be mapped to a new or existing revenue center, which is useful if you would like online orders to be reported independently from other areas of revenue generation. Since Revenue Centers help you segment your sources of revenue in the restaurant, we recommend you create a Revenue Center called "Online Ordering." For more information on Revenue Centers, see Creating and Assigning Revenue Centers in Toast Central.

Frequently Asked Questions for Order with Google

How can I set Toast as my preferred partner on Google? 

See the Order with Google Preferred Business Badge section of this article for the steps to add a preferred business badge on your listing. Note: The preferred business badge feature is not available in Ireland.
 

How can I manage my order volume to ensure my kitchen is not overloaded?

If you are a third-party integration user, you can toggle off DoorDash and Uber Eats during peak times.  

Here is a checklist to ensure your restaurant is listed on Order with Google:

  1. You are live on Toast.
  2. Your restaurant is not in test or demo mode.
  3. You have the Toast Online Ordering product. 
  4. Toast Online Ordering is not paused or snoozed.
  5. You have Accept Orders on your Google Profile in the food ordering section toggled on. 
  6. You have not opted out of Google food ordering on your Google Business Profile.

Google is using different images for my menu items.  How can I update my menu images on Google? 

If no menu item image is uploaded, Google may use User Generated Images and machine learning to associate a photo with a menu item. To request the removal of a User Generated Content (UGC) image, you should follow the steps in the Google My Business Help Center. Be sure to provide a valid reason for the takedown request (poor photo quality is a valid reason). Upon review and approval of the request, Order with Google selects a different UGC image related to your menu item. If restaurants do not want this to happen, the best way to avoid it is for them to upload their own images to Toast. 

Note: Images can take 24 hours to show after being uploaded.
