Setting

Options and description

The settings described in this table affect the set of buttons that are available on the Toast POS devices used by employees, and the way that orders appear on order screens and on printed and KDS device kitchen tickets.

Mask passcode

This setting allows you to apply passcode masking.

On

This option is enabled by default to activate passcode masking on all Toast POS devices. Asterisks (*) appear instead of the typed digits when employees enter their passcodes.
Off

This option disables passcode masking.

You can also allow employees to access Toast POS devices that have a magnetic card reader by swiping a card with a magnetic stripe. On Toast POS devices, you associate a card with an employee passcode by selecting Manager Activities > Register Swipe Card.

Additional text

This setting accepts a text string. The text appears along the bottom of the sign in screen of your Toast POS devices. It appears above the Toast POS version number and in the same size font.

Note

If using multi-location restaurants, you can only set one text string for each restaurant.

Order screen

The following table provides information about the settings of the Order screen section on the Front of house > Order screen setup > UI options page.

Setting Options and description

The settings described in this table affect the set of buttons that are available on the Toast POS devices used by employees, and the way that orders appear on order screens and on printed and KDS device kitchen tickets.

Additional Modifier Groups

This setting lists modifier groups that you can include on the order screen for every menu item. The modifier options that employees select from these modifier groups appear on kitchen tickets to help coordinate serving, packaging, plating, and preparing items to each guest's specifications.

To include a button for an additional modifier group, select the Enabled checkbox.

In the example, all of the additional modifier groups are enabled. A button appears for each enabled modifier group on the right, or bottom, of the order screen after the menu-related modifier groups for the item being ordered.

A Table Service order screen for an order of chicken wings with modifier buttons for Seat Number, Dining Option, Course, Split, and Special Request after the menu-related size and sauce modifier buttons.

If an ordered item does not have any associated menu-related modifier groups, employees select the ordered item to access buttons for additional modifier groups.

You can also change the sequence in which the additional modifier buttons appear on order screens. To move a button to a different location, click and drag the reorder icon next to the name of the additional modifier group.

Seat number (Table Service Only)

Note

To use this option, you must also set Party size to Always ask before creating a new order.

This option adds the Seat Number modifier group for orders taken in Table Service mode. For parties with more than one guest, when an employee selects Seat Number, buttons for Share, 1, 2, and so on appear.

If you enable this option, you can require employees to specify seat numbers by selecting the Required checkbox. You can also use the seat number to sort items on kitchen tickets: on the Kitchen > Printers, tickets, & KDS devices > Kitchen and ticket setup page, set Item Sorting Priority to By seat number.

Seat number (Quick Order Only)

Note

To use this option, you must also set Party size to Always ask before creating a new order.

This option adds the Seat Number modifier group for orders taken in Quick Order mode. For parties with more than one guest, when an employee selects Seat Number, buttons for Share, 1, 2, and so on appear.

If you enable this option, you can require employees to specify seat numbers by selecting the Required checkbox. You can also use the seat number to sort items on kitchen tickets: on the Kitchen > Printers, tickets, & KDS devices > Kitchen and ticket setup page, set Item Sorting Priority to By seat number.

Dining option

This option adds the Dining Option modifier group. When an employee selects Dining Option, buttons for Dine In, Take Out, Delivery, and so on appear. You define the dining options that your restaurant uses on the Kitchen > Dining options > Dining options page.

Note

This modifier appears on the right (or bottom) of the order screen and identifies how to package an item for service. The Dining button that is available on the left (or top) of the order screen applies to the order as a whole.

For example, guests at a table order for themselves, and ask for a wrapped sandwich to be ready when they finish their meal. The dining option selected for the table is Dine In and the dining option for the sandwich is Take Out. On a KDS device, the ticket for the sandwich appears as follows.

A kitchen ticket with Dine In printed in large font at the top, a course of Dessert in the center, and 1 sandwich with Take Out, in brackets and italics, underneath.

If you define rules to reroute orders based on the dining option specified, this additional modifier only affects the appearance of the item on the ticket. It does not affect how the Toast platform routes the order.

Course

This option adds the Course modifier group. When an employee selects Course, buttons for your courses (Apps, Main, Dessert, and so on) appear.

You add courses on the Kitchen > Pacing > Courses page, and enable course pacing on the Kitchen > Pacing > Meal pacing page.

Split

This option adds the Split modifier group. When an employee selects Split, buttons for For 2, For 3, For 4, and so on appear.

Note

The button for this modifier appears on the right (or bottom) of the order screen to identify how to plate an item for service. The Split button that is available on the left (or top) of the order screen applies to the order as a whole, and allows employees to divide a check for payment by multiple guests.

An order screen showing both of the Split buttons.

Special request

This option is enabled by default to add the Special Request modifier group. When an employee selects Special Request, the New Request dialog prompts for the name and optional additional cost of the requested modification.

Special request price entry

Note

This setting is managed on the Front of House page

When enabled, a price can be specified for each Special Request additional modifier.

Show Send, Stay, and Hold buttons

This setting only applies if Orders send only after check is paid is set to Off.

This setting lists buttons that you can use on order screens. To include a button for one of these actions, select the checkbox next to the action name.

Send

This option allows employees to send ordered items to the kitchen, and begin an order for another guest, without collecting payment for the first order.
Stay

This option allows employees to send a partial order to the kitchen, and continue to enter additional items to the same order for the same group of guests. For example, employees can use this option to send the drink order for a large party and then immediately begin taking orders for additional items.
Hold

This option allows employees to save all ordered items without sending them to the kitchen or collecting payment. To return to a held order, employees select All checks on the top right and select the Open tab.

Note

The orientation of the Toast POS device affects how much space is available to display buttons. If all of these buttons are enabled but they do not all appear in Quick Order mode, try rotating the device 90°.

Valid SSIDs

This setting identifies the valid service set identifier (SSID) name of your wireless local area network (WLAN). When you use this setting to set one or more SSIDs, Toast POS devices will only connect to the internet using the specified network(s).

To add an SSID, select Add SSID and enter the name of the network in the entry field that appears.

Note

The SSID that you enter must match the network name exactly, including capitalization and punctuation.

Orders send only after check is paid

This setting determines whether payment is required before orders are sent to the kitchen for fulfillment.

On

This option only shows the Pay $ button. Employees must receive payment to send tickets to the kitchen. Applies to all order screens.

Note

When employees specify a dining option that has takeout or delivery as a dining behavior the following functions are expected:

The Stay and Send buttons appear on all order modes.
The Hold button appears on the Table Service screen.
The Pay ($) button functions as a Send button and sends a ticket to the kitchen even if the order has not been paid. To prevent unpaid checks from firing to the kitchen, employees should use the Stay button instead of Pay ($).

For example, the employees in a quick service restaurant use hand-held devices to take orders from guests as they walk in. Selecting On streamlines the typical in-person ordering and payment process. When a guest calls in a takeout order, however, the employee can send the order to the kitchen and take payment by credit card (by selecting Pay $), or send the order to the kitchen (by selecting Send, which appears for the takeout dining option) and receive cash payment when the guest arrives.

Off

This option provides the Send, Stay, and Hold buttons on the Table Service and Delivery screens for all orders, regardless of the selected dining option. It also provides access to the Show Send, Stay, and Hold buttons setting for Quick Order mode.

Prompt for tab name? (Quick Order only)

This setting determines whether a tab name (or credit card swipe) is required for dine-in orders when employees use quick order mode to send an order to the kitchen. The tab name appears at the top of the kitchen ticket under the order number.

On

This option prompts employees for a tab name or card swipe when they select Pay $ for a dine-in order. If Send, Stay, or Hold are enabled by the Show Send, Stay, and Hold buttons option, or Fast Cash is enabled by Show fast cash button?, selecting them for a dine-in order also prompts for the tab name.

After you select this option, Device Setup includes an Override Blank Tab Name Prompt setting. You configure this setting to Off on devices that should prompt for a tab name, or to On on devices that you do not want to prompt for a tab name.
Off

This option does not prompt employees for a tab name or card swipe.

For more information about the effects of these options, see KDS ticket contents.

Prompt for dining option? (Quick Order only)

For restaurants and devices that do not have a default dining option, this setting determines whether a dining option must be specified when employees send an order to the kitchen using quick order mode. The dining option appears at the top of the kitchen ticket.

Note

This setting requires that none of the dining options defined on the Kitchen > Dining options > Dining options is identified as the default.

On

Select this option to prompt employees for the dining option when they select Pay $ in Quick Order mode. If Send, Stay, or Hold are enabled by the Show Send, Stay, and Hold buttons setting, or Fast Cash is enabled by Show fast cash button?, selecting them also prompts for the dining option.

Note

For this option to take effect, verify that there is no default dining option specified by either the Kitchen > Dining options > Dining options page for your restaurant or Setup > Device Setup > Device Default Dining Option for a specific Toast POS device.

Off

Select this option if the kitchen does not need this information on kitchen tickets, or if you have a default dining option defined on the Kitchen > Dining options > Dining options page or on your Toast POS devices.

For more information about the effects of these options, see KDS ticket contents.

Show item sent time

This setting determines whether the time that the order was sent to the kitchen appears below the item list on the order screen.

On

Select this option to include a Sent HH:MM message below the item list on order screens. The sent time appears for every ordering mode: Table Service, Quick Order, and Delivery. Including this information with orders gives employees and managers additional insight into the fulfillment time frame, and, as a result, the guest experience.
Off

Select this option if you do not need this information on order screens.

Modifier display mode

This setting controls how modifier options appear under menu items on order screens and printed and KDS device kitchen tickets.

Illustrations of the order and kitchen tickets for each setting are provided. The example order is for a sandwich item with the following modifiers entered in sequence: required modifiers for meat (chicken) and side (green salad, which has an extra charge and requires the dressing modifier, balsamic), and optional modifiers of bacon (extra charge), lettuce, and tomato. Add modifier charges to item price is set to On and Modifier group sorting is set to Display in order modifiers are listed in their modifier group.

Vertical: list one modifier per line

Select this option to show each modifier option on a separate line, in either the sequence the employee selects them or in the sequence the modifier groups and options are defined for the menu item, as defined by the Modifier group sorting option. In kitchens that use KDS devices and set Fulfill Items to Enable individual item fulfillment, kitchen employees can individually mark modifiers in the list as fulfilled.
Horizontal: list all modifiers on one line, comma separated

Select this option to show each modifier option in a comma-separated list, in either the sequence the employee selects them or in the sequence the modifier groups and options are defined for the menu item, as defined by the Modifier group sorting option.
Legacy

Select this option to show each modifier option on a separate line, with required modifier options first, followed by optional modifiers sorted from lowest price (free) to highest. Multiple modifier options with the same price appear in the sequence the employee selects them. In kitchens that use KDS devices and set Fulfill Items to Enable individual item fulfillment, kitchen employees can individually mark modifiers in the list as fulfilled.
Legacy - Flatten

Select this option to show modifier options in a comma-separated list, in the sequence the employee selects them.

For more information about the effects of these options, see KDS ticket layout.

Show default modifiers?

This setting determines how default modifiers in a modifier group appear on order screens and printed and KDS device kitchen tickets.

Illustrations of the order and kitchen tickets for each setting are provided. The example order is for a sandwich item that has default modifiers of lettuce, onion, and tomato. The guest in this example asks for lettuce and tomato but no onion. Modifier display mode is set to Vertical: list one modifier per line.

On

Select this option if you want all selected modifier options to appear below the ordered item. If a modifier is selected it appears, if it is not selected it does not appear.
Off

Select this option if you only want default modifier options to appear below the ordered item when they are specifically de-selected. A default modifier option that is de-selected appears with NO before the name.

Consolidate menu items

This setting determines whether each item in an order appears on a separate line, or if identical items (with identical modifiers if any) in an order are summed and shown on one line with the total count.

Note

If you enable the Seat Number additional modifier group, items always appear on separate lines, even if a seat number is not explicitly specified by the employee.

Illustrations of the order and kitchen tickets for each setting are provided. The example order is for two identical chicken wings with Buffalo sauce. Modifier display mode is set to Vertical: list one modifier per line.

On

Select this option to show identical items and modifiers once with the total number ordered on order screens and printed or KDS device kitchen tickets. Applies only when the Seat Number additional modifier group is not enabled.
Off

Select this option to show each item separately, with a count of 1, on order screens and printed or KDS device kitchen tickets.

For more information about the effects of these options, see KDS ticket layout.

Consolidate discounts

This setting determines whether an item-level fixed currency discount is applied to each item in a consolidated group of identical items in an order.

On

Select this option to apply an item-level fixed currency discount to each item in a consolidated group of identical items. Note that consolidated groups of identical items are created when the Consolidate menu items setting is enabled.
Off

Select this option if you do not want an item-level fixed currency discount to be applied to all items in a consolidated group of identical items, but instead want the discount to be applied to the total of all items.

Consolidate modifiers

This setting determines whether each modifier option for a menu item appears on a separate line or if identical modifier options are combined and shown on one line with the total count.

The configuration of the Consolidate modifiers setting affects the way that modifier options appear on:

Toast POS order screens
Printed kitchen tickets, KDS device tickets, and the KDS all day display view
Guest facing displays
Guest receipts

You can select:

On

Select this option to show identical modifier options once with the total number ordered.
Off

Select this option to show each modifier option separately.

Add modifier charges to item price

This setting determines whether the prices defined for modifier options are summed with the menu item price for one total, or appear separately from menu item prices.

Note

This setting affects only order screens. You define how modifier prices appear on guest receipts on the Payments > Checks & receipt setup > Guest receipt setup page.

On

Select this option if you only want the total price of the menu item and all modifier options to appear on the order screen.
Off

Select this option if you want modifier option prices to appear separately from menu item prices.

If Modifier display mode is set to Legacy or Vertical: list one modifier per line the price of each modifier option appears on its own line; if set to Legacy - Flatten or Horizontal: list all modifiers on one line, comma separated the system sums the modifier option prices and displays the total below the menu item price.

Modifier group sorting

For restaurants with Modifier display mode set to Vertical: list one modifier per line or Horizontal: list all modifiers on one line, comma separated, this setting controls the sequence in which modifier options appear on order screens and printed and KDS device kitchen tickets.

Display in order modifiers were added

Select this option to list the modifier options in the sequence the employee selects them.
Display in order modifiers are listed in their modifier group

Select this option to list modifier options sequenced by how the modifier groups are sequenced for the menu item, and, for multi-select modifier groups, by how the modifier options are sequenced in the modifier group.

For example, you serve different kinds of barbecue sauce with your chicken wings, defined as options in the modifier group as mild, medium, hot, and insane. When guests order more than one of the sauces with their wings, they can either be listed in the order that the employee adds them (hot, mild, insane), or always in the same sequence relative to each other (mild, hot, insane).

For more information about the effects of these options, see KDS ticket layout.

Modifier ordering priority

This setting determines the sequence in which modifier group buttons appear on order screens. This option applies to modifier groups defined in the menu. If you enable any of the additional modifier groups, they appear after the menu modifier groups.

On

Select this option if you want modifier group buttons to appear in the sequence defined by their Display Ordering Priority values. To review and update these values for all of your modifier groups use Menus > Bulk management > Advanced properties.
Off

Select this option if you want buttons for any required modifier groups to appear on the order screen before optional modifier groups.

Select this option to keep the order screen open for the same order (similar to Stay) after employees tap Print.

Auto switch user

This setting determines how frequently employees need to sign in to Toast POS devices. Applies to all order screens: Quick Order, Table Service, and Delivery.

Note

Regardless of how you configure this setting, if you define a Screen Timeout period on a device the system signs the current user out of that device whenever the specified time period elapses without activity. For information about configuring individual devices, see Accessing the Toast POS Device Setup screen.

On

Select this option to automatically sign the current user out and return to the passcode screen each time employees send an order to the kitchen, hold an order, or complete a payment transaction. If Close After Printing is Yes, the passcode screen also appears when employees print guest receipts.
Off

Select this option if you do not want employees to sign in after every order.

Tipping

The following table provides information about the settings of the Tipping section on the Front of house > Order screen setup > UI options page.

Setting Options and description

Tip / Tax

This setting determines the sequence in which the Toast platform calculates suggested tip amounts and fixed percent service charges.

Calculate tip before tax

Select this option to calculate suggested tip or service charge amounts first, and then calculate taxes.
Calculate tip after tax

Select this option to calculate charges for taxes first, and then calculate suggested tip or service charge amounts.

Examples of how the Toast platform calculates suggested tips and service charges follow.

Suggested tip: For items totalling $50, a tax rate of 7.5%, and suggested tip percentages of 15%, 18%, and 20%, the system:

Calculates tip before tax: Calculates suggested tip amounts of $7.50, $9.00, and $10. Then uses the $50 item total to calculate the taxes, $50 * .075 = $4.50, for a total check amount of $54.50.
Calculates tip after tax: Calculates the taxes, $50 * .075 = $4.50, for a total check amount of $54.50. Then uses the $54.50 total to calculate suggested tip amounts of $8.06, $9.68, and $10.75.

Note that the total on the check, which is paid to the restaurant, is the same in both cases. The actual tip amount paid directly to the employee is at the guest's discretion.

Service charge: For items totalling $1000, a tax rate of 6.25%, and a service charge of 20% (taxed at the same rate), the system either:

Calculates tip before tax: Calculates the service charge as $1000 * .20 = $200, for a new subtotal of $1200. Then uses the new subtotal to calculate the tax, $1200 * .0625 = $75, for a total check amount of $1200 + $75 = $1275.
Calculates tip after tax: Calculates the taxes, $1000 * .0625 = $62.50, for a new subtotal of $1062.50. Then uses the new subtotal to calculate the service charge, $1062.50 * .20 = $212.50. Because this service charge is taxable, the system also calculates the tax on the service charge, $212.50 * .0625 = $13.28. Then adds the service charge and its tax to the subtotal, for a total check amount of $1062.50 + $212.50 + $13.28 = $1288.28.

Note that service charges, unlike tips, are included in the check total and collected by the restaurant. As a result, the setting that you choose for this option can affect the total check amount.

Appropriate variations on these computations apply to service charges that have different tax rates or that are not taxed.

For more information about service charges, see Service charge overview.

Tip & signature flow

Combined tip & signature screen

Tip selection and guest signature are on a single screen. This option supports the default tip selection.

Note

The default tip selection can be Default percentage, Default amount, or both depending on your Tip options setting.

Legacy tip screen along with the legacy signature screen

Tip selection and guest signature are on separate screens. This option does not support default tip selection.

Tip options

Show tip options in percentages only

For check totals below a specified value, suggested tips appear as dollar amounts. For check totals above the specified value, suggested tips appear as percentages of the total. You use the Tip option transaction amount to specify the value.

Tip option transaction amount

This setting appears if Tip options is set to Show tip options in amounts and percentages.

This setting determines the total check value used to determine whether the suggested tips are dollar amounts or percentages.

Tip amounts

This setting appears if Tip options is set to either Show tip options in amounts only or Show tip options in amounts and percentages.

You can enter up to three dollar amounts. Each value defines a dollar amount to automatically add as a tip. For example, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00.

Note

This field can be reconfigured to accept up to four dollar amounts: choose Payments > Payment methods > Payment options, and set the Tip & signature flow option to Legacy tip screen along with the legacy signature screen.

Default amount

This setting appears if Tip options is set to Show tip options in amounts only.

This setting determines what tipping option is preselected on the guest-facing display.

- $2.00
No tip
None

Select this option if you do not want any of the tip amounts or the No tip option to be preselected on the guest-facing display. The guest must select a suggested tip amount or No tip to proceed.

Tip percentages

This setting appears if Tip options is set to either Show tip options in percentages only or Show tip options in amounts and percentages.

You can enter up to three numbers. Each value defines a percentage of the check total to automatically add as a tip. For example, 15, 18, 20.

To include these percentages on guest receipts, you must also enable the Display Tip Percentages on Customer Receipts setting on the Marketing > Receipt Setup page.

Note

Previously, this field accepted up to four values. If you prefer this legacy feature, choose Payments > Payment methods > Payment options, and set the Tip & signature flow option to Legacy tip screen along with the legacy signature screen. As a result, this field accepts up to four tip percentage values, but an extra payment step will be presented to guests who pay on a Toast device. This Toast Central article provides additional information.

Default percentage

This setting appears if Tip options is set to either Show tip options in percentages only or Show tip options in amounts and percentages.

This setting determines what tipping option is preselected on the guest-facing display.

Time entry rounding scheme

This setting determines how the Toast platform applies rounding to the computation of employee hours. The payroll service that you use, such as Toast Payroll, can affect which option is more appropriate for your location.

All time entries are added together, then rounded for total hours

This option retains full precision for calculations of the length of time between employee clock in and clock out. All time periods are summed and then rounded to two decimal places. This is the default option.

Note

Toast labor reports, including the Time Entries report, limit the precision shown for time periods to two decimal places. This limitation can result in differences between the length of time that the system uses to determine pay and the time periods shown on the report.

Each time entry is rounded, then added together for total hours

This option rounds the length of time calculated between employee clock in and clock out to two decimal places. All time periods are then summed. Select this option if you use Toast Payroll, or are directed to do so by an integration partner offering a payroll service.

Note

When you select this option and publish, the Toast platform recalculates all employee hours and pay from January 1, 2019 through publication.
