Run your restaurant from anywhere
Toast Now is a mobile application from Toast Inc. that puts restaurant management tools in your pocket. It delivers up-to-the-minute business metrics, channel and inventory controls, and staff management features so you can supervise operations no matter where you are.
What you’ll see at a glance
Get immediate visibility into how the business is performing with concise sales reporting that breaks down totals by hour and compares recent results to past periods. These summaries include side-by-side comparisons to the same day last week and last year so you can spot trends quickly.
Channel and menu controls
- Pause or resume online ordering, Toast Takeout, and third-party platforms like Grubhub with a tap.
- Mark menu items as available or out of stock so front‑of‑house and customers get accurate, current information.
- Use these controls to redirect order flow and reduce menu-related issues during shortages.
Communication and manager tools
- Create and update entries in the manager log; those notes sync with the Toast web interface for continuity across devices.
- Send and respond to short message threads for quick coordination between managers and staff.
Staff monitoring and shift management
- View who’s clocked in or out, edit shifts, and access shift details such as breaks and tips earned.
- Make on-the-fly schedule changes and keep labor information current from your phone.
Oversee multiple locations
Log in once to see performance across all of your sites. The multi-location view makes it simple to toggle between restaurants and compare results without repeated sign-ins.
Availability and download
Toast Now is available exclusively to restaurants that use Toast. Download it from the App Store for iOS devices.
Alternative option
If you’re evaluating other tools for hourly tracking and scheduling, consider Time Manager (a paid solution) or similar hourly chime/scheduling apps as an alternative to Toast Now.
