1. Why Contactless Matters in Today’s Restaurant Scene
“Contactless payment” means guests tap or wave their credit card or phone to pay—no swiping, no handing over cards, no signature required. It’s secure, quick, and here to stay. Restaurants adopting contactless see happier guests and streamlined operations.
2. Toast Tap™: Speed + Durability
Toast Tap™ hardware—available as countertop or direct‑attach units—lets guests tap, dip, or swipe in under a second. Built tough, spill-resistant, and restaurant-proven, it handles real-world challenges with ease.
3. Embracing Apple/Google/Samsung Pay
Whether it’s Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay, Toast Tap™ supports it all—enabling tap-to-pay via smartphones, reducing payment friction, and aligning with guest preferences.
4. Touch-Free Ordering with QR & Mobile
Toast Mobile Order & Pay® allows diners to scan a QR code, view the menu, order, and checkout—all on their phone. Features like pre‑authorization and group ordering empower guests and can increase average check size by nearly 12%.
5. Toast Go 2: Contactless On‑The‑Go
Toast Go 2 is a handheld, restaurant-grade device for tableside, curbside, or outdoor payment. Guests can complete orders with Apple, Google, Samsung Pay, or tap‑to‑pay—no need to visit the counter.
6. Performance & Profit Benefits
During the pandemic, 25,000+ restaurants onboarded Toast’s contactless tools; those using QR code ordering saw a 20% increase in monthly revenue. And contactless payment alone can cut transaction time by half when compared with swipe or EMV methods.
