With integrated digital invoicing, Toast streamlines the process of creating customer invoices, collecting payments, prepping and fulfilling orders
“Whether it’s a bakery fulfilling an order for a wedding or a downtown brewery selling craft beer to other local businesses, restaurants have evolved to more than just providing guests an incredible on-site experience,” said
“I used to designate about one to two days to invoicing,” said
According to Toast’s first Voice of the Restaurant Industry survey, 72 percent of restaurants offer catering in addition to their on-premise business. Catering is one of the top three areas of focus for restaurant owners and operators heading into 2023.2 However, many restaurants need a different system to bill customers for catering, wholesale and house account balances. Toast Invoicing eliminates the need for multiple systems by integrating the invoices with a restaurant’s existing sales and operations. Toast Invoicing allows restaurants to:
-
Streamline catering and wholesale with integrated order and payment tracking - Toast Invoicing enables restaurants to easily capture orders online, send estimates, print full page prep sheets and track orders through a calendar view that is fully integrated with
Toast Point of Sale and Toast Kitchen Display System (KDS). It provides everyone from catering managers to back of house staff access to the tools and information they need to be successful. - Easily manage invoices for all types of orders - Toast Invoicing integrates directly with a restaurant’s menu in Toast, so they can simply itemize invoices from their existing menu. It also allows restaurants to accept tips with an invoice and digitally distribute them to staff using Toast Payroll & Team Management.
- Simplify payments - Toast customers have the ability to send an invoice from any device, not just their point of sale system. They can set payment due dates and reminders as well as collect and redeem deposits. Through Toast Invoicing, a restaurant’s customer has the flexibility to pay online at any time.
