Introduction

More than 90% of the restaurants fail to provide a superior dining experience or face operational inefficiency due to heavy inflow of customers or because they are understaffed. There is more wait time and less TAT, digital menus are not integrated with the restaurant management POS systems. This leads to staff jumping and heavy operational costs. 

Historically, the restaurant industry has been slower to adopt technology than the other industries, however, everyone is stepping up their game to realise greater ROI. Various startups are addressing these difficulties using tech and coming up with innovative solutions. Following the same, ToastApp was born that works on integrating & providing a superior customer experience -- from ordering to checkout all the while making it easier for restaurants to run their business from one single dashboard.
