Book a demoView pricing

Toast is a POS company first. Its online ordering, websites and Local by Toast app are sold as Digital Storefront add-ons on top of a Toast POS, and Toast's services only run on Toast-approved hardware. Servestack is the ordering and marketing layer instead of the POS: it syncs two-way with Toast, Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Revel and SpotOn, so you can change POS without rebuilding your website and guest list.

Already on Toast? You can keep it. Servestack sends online orders into your Toast POS and adds a website, marketing automation and an AI marketing studio at a flat monthly price.
