New payment system?

[Woodchipper]

Hope this is the right forum section. Wife and I had lunch at a local restaurant. The server had a remote scanning system that was marked Toast. Anyone heard of it?

I think that used to be called the Bread system, but the developers caught some heat for stuff, so it changed. They were caught buttering up some French investors.

Drewby108, I guess they kneaded the dough.

Toast has been around since about 2012. It is a payment system primarily focused on restaurants. They use several devices including table-side POS terminals.

Thanks for the laugh. It had me laughing out loud, my girlfriend is like "what"!

One of my favorite places to order from recently changed their online ordering to use Toast. That also employs Grub-hub drivers instead of them using the in-house drivers that I knew. I liked it better before, but change is inevitable. Anyway, yeah, it's just a service that restaurants use to process payments that is apparently more reasonably priced than labor and upkeep of their own POS systems.

Lets see; I'm on my third credit card this year. Every time I get a fraudulent charge they give me a new card with a different number. Pain in the neck; I'm about to tell them if they give a new card I will charge them $100.00 for the INconvenience.

My CC is on the ball. They will call if there is a questionable charge. Never had a problem in over 30 years. They called when the spotted two ATM withdrawals out of state. We weren't in that town so they took care of it.
Example: Bought a dash camera and the people added a $39.95 memory card. "A supervisor will call within 24 hours." 48 hours and two calls, got nothing. Called the CC holder, gave them the phone number and got it deleted.
