Toast spent its first decade building the dominant independent-restaurant POS before touching the front door. The April 2023 launch of Toast Tables extended the platform into reservations and waitlist management, the one front-of-house function it had previously left to integrations.
The logic was consolidation. A restaurant on Toast already had payments, ordering, payroll, and marketing in one system; reservations were the missing piece that still forced operators to pay OpenTable or Resy and to keep a separate guest database. Toast Tables unified that data under one vendor.
The product is still young relative to incumbents, but its distribution is built in: every Toast POS customer is a sales lead, and bundling lets Toast price reservations below standalone platforms. By 2026, with Resy absorbing Tock and DoorDash owning SevenRooms, Toast Tables represented the POS-bundled model in a market consolidating around platform ecosystems.
Who founded Toast? Steve Fredette, Aman Narang, and Jonathan Grimm founded the company in Boston in 2011 after working together at Endeca. It was incorporated as Opti Systems in December 2011 and renamed Toast in May 2012.
Is Toast publicly traded? Yes. Toast lists Class A shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TOST and is a member of the S&P 400.
How does Toast make money? Mostly from payment processing fees on the $195.1 billion in gross payment volume it handled in FY2025. Subscription software and hardware make up the rest of its $6.15 billion in revenue.
