GBI have had problems with receiving a receipt from Toast I have had problems with receiving a restaurant receipt from Toast. After placing a payment using a QR code from Toast their app informed me that it emailed a receipt to me. It does not identify the email address used for the receipt. I never provided an email address to Toast. Their customer service is completely lame and told me to contact the merchant instead of taking the time to research my issue. They were unable to provide me access to their next tier of support that might have been able to answer my concerns. Very poor customer service.

GB24/7 Customer Support us UNTRUE 24/7 Customer Support us UNTRUE! System glitch charging customers twice, leaving us to explain the mess. Other than being portable Toast is only slightly better than our old PC America. Try fighting for your clients when a chargeback is presented. Provided video proof of client eating/drinking, swiping card, and adding a tip, only to get a chargeback.

GBHard to be perfect POS systems were always behind in technology compared to the corporate world. Toast found the niche in a tough market and made the investment building great software and hardware for our restaurant. The only small limited downsides that we are effected by is they lock you in to their own merchant services. The credit card industry is not fair to small business but that was their early marketing strategy. I will give them 5 stars when they integrate a weather application. That's the most obvious and consistent common sense reason why we or any other restaurant will do more or less revenue is weather. Having reports and even forecast weather for labor would be great.

GBCompletely incompetent support Very slow on support issues. Have 4 restaurants and have been with toast for 4+ years. Support has been slow but this time it is hurting our business. When they went to do a recent 3rd party integration, they disconnected one of our existing suppliers. It was down for 3 weeks despite numerous calls, chats and support tickets for help. Cost us thousands in lost sales. The same thing just happened again with another integration. They were trying to connect DoorDash and somehow disconnected GrubHub. Not only does our DoorDash not work, we have GrubHub drivers showing up for orders that have never come through the POS. Was working fine until they went to integrate our DoorDash. We have called, asked for supervisors, texted our sales person… still waiting. Have another 6 days of lost GrubHub sales and no solution. We have had 2 other POS systems that cost less and had better support. We have been billed for this integration for 3 months even though they never get them working and we lose money in sales. I see toast commented they would reach out. I put all my contact info in. If you could reach out soon it would be helpful. Was transferred to 3 people yesterday and was told I would get a call back yesterday. We have been told this many times and no one calls.

GBGreat POS system, marginal support The system is top notch and really does just about everything a restaurant needs. The issues I have are the continuous updating and changing settings which make you relearn the app too frequently. My employees get frustrated because they become familiar with the very subtle uses of the program and then they go and change it, and not for the better. Also the tech support has seriously declined over the 8 years we've been with the company. It's almost impossible to get someone you can understand over the phone so I almost always use the online chat feature.
