Opening a new restaurant is thrilling—but also risky. Industry data consistently shows that about 1 in 5 restaurants don’t make it through their first year. But there’s promising news for those who choose the right tools from the start.
According to recent data, new restaurants that launch with Toast are 12% less likely to close in their first year compared to the average restaurant. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a testament to how powerful the right technology can be when launching and sustaining a successful foodservice operation.
