Team at Toast was very easy to work with, agile, and listed well to our needs. Software was intuitive and powerful all in one. Reporting and analytics were super helpful as we scaled and transformed business from year one to year two (pretty substantially).

Horrible customer service. For a small business it is extremely to any support from toast. I would not recommend it to anyone. This company is killing small restaurants.
