    Toast, Inc. is an American cloud-based restaurant management software company based in Boston, Massachusetts. The company provides an all-in-one point of sale (POS) system built on the Android operating system.

    History[edit]

    Toast's founders—Steve Fredette, Aman Narang, and Jonathan Grimm[1]—initially created a consumer app centered for mobile payments, customer loyalty, promotions, and social aspects that integrated with restaurants’ existing POS systems.[3]

    In February 2020, Toast received $400 million in a round of Series F funding including Bessemer Venture Partners and TPG, at a valuation of $4.9 billion.[4][5] As of March 2022, Toast is used in approximately 62,000 US restaurants.[6]

    In April 2020, Toast laid off 50% of its workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact on the restaurant industry.[7]

    In November 2020, Toast has a secondary sale that valued the company at around $8 billion, despite laying off half of its employees in April.[8] On September 22, 2021, Toast went public with an initial public offering under the stock symbol TOST.[9] The company offered shares at $40 initially, with a market capitalization of roughly $20 billion, making it one of 2021's largest American IPOs.[10]

    In February 2023, it was announced Toast had acquired the Costa Mesa-headquartered producer of digital display solutions and drive-thru technology for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), Delphi Display Systems.[11]

    Toast headquarters were located at Landmark Center from 2015 until June 2023.[12]

    Products[edit]

    First launched in March 2020, Toast's restaurant management system operates on the Android operating system and includes four devices: Flex (a terminal available in single-screen, guest-facing and kitchen displays), Tap (a three-in-one payment processing device that supports contactless payments), Toast Hub, and receipt printer.[13]

    The company started supporting reservations in April 2023, entering into competition with OpenTable and Resy.[14]

    Recognition[edit]

    In May 2016, the New England Venture Capital Association (NEVCA) named Toast the winner of the Hottest Startup: A+ at the 2016 NEVY awards.[15][16]
