Toast is a cloud-based, all-in-one software platform purpose-built for restaurants and food and beverage retailers, providing an integrated suite of solutions spanning point-of-sale systems, kitchen operations, team management, vendor management, online ordering, marketing, and financial technology services including payment processing and lending. The company serves restaurants of all sizes facing low-margin operations, peeling complexity, and omnichannel consumer demands, positioning itself as a central operating system connecting front-of-house and back-of-house operations. Toast generates revenue through software subscription fees, payment processing transaction fees, hardware sales and leasing, loan origination and servicing through Toast Capital, and ecosystem partnerships, with a business model that benefits from customer expansion as restaurants adopt additional platform products over time.
