Toast Payroll and Team Management review

Toast's scheduling module is a strong option only if your restaurant already runs Toast POS, because its main advantage is data that never leaves the system. Schedules are built against sales forecasts drawn from historical POS sales, with weather and labor costs as inputs, and a Scheduling Agent drafts the schedule from availability and projected sales for a manager to review. Staff view schedules, swap shifts and request time off in the MyToast app. Every clock-in flows into Toast Payroll, so managers can compare scheduled against actual hours before payroll runs, and payroll handles tip pooling, overtime across locations and multiple pay rates. Toast states that restaurants using its scheduling see 41% fewer overtime hours per employee. Pricing is the weak spot for comparison: scheduling sits inside Team Management packages, and the published entry point is a POS and Payroll bundle at $69 per month plus $9 per employee.
