Toast, an all-in-one technology platform built for restaurants, launched Digital Storefront and Marketing Suites that offer robust website and online ordering capabilities.
The suites create a seamless digital hospitality experience for restaurants, integrate across the Toast platform, and allow restaurants to gather guest data from online and point-of-sale (POS) transactions. This data powers automated, targeted campaigns and custom-tailored guest experiences, fostering an engaging online environment that attracts guests and encourages return restaurant visits and repeat orders.
“Through innovations including our Toast Go® 2 handheld devices and Toast Mobile Order & Pay®, Toast technology has streamlined and transformed the on-site guest experience for restaurants of all sizes and types,” said Steve Fredette, President and Co-Founder of Toast.
“Our Digital Storefront and Marketing Suites extend that enhanced guest experience online using tools like Toast’s new AI-powered writing assistant, search engine-optimised websites and online menus, promotional offers, loyalty programs, and automated marketing campaigns that work together to draw guests in and keep them coming back.”
