Toast to AI in three steps

ToastRaw Data SourceGN MCPNormalize + EnrichAES-256 + PseudonymizeAI Agents15 MCP Tools

Toast records every order and cover, but restaurant operators can't correlate dining room occupancy with kitchen throughput. The gap between POS data and spatial data costs money every shift.

  • Order and cover tracking with table turn analytics
  • Revenue per seat hour and menu item performance
  • Kitchen throughput and prep time correlation
  • Multi-location restaurant group dashboards
  • Real-time dining room occupancy and waitlist optimization
