Toast, Inc. operates a cloud-based software and payments platform built specifically for the restaurant industry. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, the company serves customers in the United States, Ireland, India, and other international markets. It was originally incorporated as Opti Systems, Inc. and adopted the Toast name in May 2012.
The companys offerings combine restaurant point-of-sale software with adjacent operational tools, including payroll and team management, inventory and supply chain management, kitchen display systems, online ordering and delivery, and multi-location administration. Its xtraCHEF by Toast product handles back-office functions such as accounts payable automation, recipe costing, and ingredient price tracking. Toast also sells restaurant-grade hardware and provides integrated payment processing as part of the platform.
Although Toast is often associated with software, NYSE-listed shares (TOST) are classified by GICS within the Financials sector under Transaction & Payment Processing Services, reflecting the role of integrated payments in its business. Its bundled SaaS-plus-payments approach is a common structure for vertical software providers serving merchant categories where card acceptance is central to daily operations.
