Inaccurate receipt printing message removed from Toast kiosk checkout

The Toast kiosk checkout workflow no longer shows guests an inaccurate message about receipt printing. Previously, if a guest’s check was fully covered by a promotion code or loyalty program reward during checkout, the checkout screen would then display the message indicating that "your receipt is printing” even if no printer was attached or no receipt option was selected.

Toast Tables reservation information integrated in the Toast POS

You can now include Toast Tables bookings directly in the Toast POS, including visit notes, special requests, and occasion information (for example, birthdays, anniversaries, or celebrations). When the Toast Tables data integration is enabled for a restaurant location, it adds two features to the Toast POS:

  • A new table status indicating that guests were seated using Toast Tables. Tables on the Toast POS that were seated using Toast Tables are colored purple.

  • Digital chit screen when initially opening the table: when a restaurant employee taps a table seated using Toast Tables, it will open a screen on the POS (a digital chit) that provides information about the guest party from Toast Tables. From there the restaurant employee can open the orders screen and add menu items. Once the order has been started and menu items ordered, the table icon will no longer be colored purple and the digital chit will no longer pop-up when selecting the table. Toast POS functionality is not affected by the Toast Tables integration after the ordering workflow begins.

The following diagram shows the Toast POS digital chit that provides information about a guest party from Toast Tables.
