Toast Web Configuration Items

As with all PMS/Hotel Integrations, Stayntouch requires the following configuration items to be set up in Toast Web:

• Sales Categories
• Other Payment Options
• Receipt Setup

Sales Categories

For revenue generated from Toast POS to be accounted for accurately within the Stayntouch Hotel/Property Management System integration, Toast  must be assigned to every menu item, BEFORE the PMS integration can be fully set up and configured. 

Whether the sales categories are inherited from the Menu or Menu Group level, or individually applied to a specific sales category,  this can be configured in either Advanced Properties or the Menu Builder tool.

Within the Stayntouch hotel system, Sales Categories are mapped to Stayntouch revenue categories, which enables the integration to accurately account for revenue generated by the sale of each menu item posted to a guest’s folio. If no sales categories are applied, no sales are accounted for with the integration.

 must be configured and mapped to menus, menu groups, and/or menu items in Toast Web for every location leveraging any Hotel/PMS integration,  BEFORE the PMS integration can be fully configured.

Receipt Setup

Changes to a location’s allow hotel guests to provide their hotel room information directly on their receipt, so servers and restaurant administrators can update their hotel information. This information will most likely include the guest’s name, hotel room, and signature.

1. Log in to Toast Web and navigate to Guest Receipt Setup.
2. Select the receipt name.

5. Select the blue Save button on the top right.
   
    
   
   
6. Select Publish Now.

8. If a customer wishes to remove the room charge lines from their receipts, they will follow steps one to four above.
