Toast POS integrationWorks with Toast

Answer guests while you're still on the floor.

DeskWiz is the front desk for WhatsApp and phone. Hook up Toast and it answers with live menu, hours, and order status, in your restaurant's voice. Not last week's FAQ.

Read-only Toast connection. Your POS stays in charge. Nothing to migrate.

Live from Toast

Menu · hours · order status

You open tonight? And is the fried chicken still on?
Yes, we're open until 10pm. Fried Chicken is $19, served with honey butter. Want pickup or a table?
Pickup for two under Jordan.
Perfect. We'll have it ready for Jordan. Text if you need to change the time.

Price and dish name come from your Toast menu when they ask.

For restaurants on Toast that still answer guests on WhatsApp and the phone.

The kitchen is busy. The inbox doesn't care.

Guests text and call with the same questions you already answered last night. Mid-service, every reply means leaving the line or letting the thread go cold.

Dinner rush, phone ringing.

You're plating, expo is stacked, and someone wants to know if the special is still on. Voicemail takes it.

"Where's my order?" never ends.

Guests text after they leave. Looking it up means walking off the line to the POS. Every time.

Menu changes. Answers don't.

You 86 a dish or shift hours, and the old FAQ still says the wrong thing. A wrong price feels worse than no reply.

Toast stays your POS. DeskWiz is the front desk.

Connect once. When a guest messages or calls, DeskWiz grabs what it needs from Toast and answers the way your place would.

01Live menu

Prices and dishes from Toast, not a sheet you forgot to update.

Someone asks what's on, how much the burger is, or if you have a vegan option. DeskWiz checks Toast and answers from what's listed right now.

02Hours & location

Hours and address come from the restaurant you already run in Toast.

Holiday hours, prep times, phone, address: the same facts your POS already has. Better than a knowledge page that goes stale.

03Order status

"Is it ready?" without walking to the terminal.

DeskWiz finds the order by phone, check number, or name. Prep, ready, out for delivery, paid. Same thread they already wrote you on.

Questions guests already send you.

Same threads you get every night. With Toast connected, DeskWiz has the facts without you leaving service.

WhatsApp

Menu & price mid-rush

Hey do you still have the short rib special? And how much is it?
Yes, the Short Rib Special is on tonight. It's $28. Want me to put your name in for a table or takeout?
Takeout for 7:30 if you can.
Got it. Pickup around 7:30 under your number. Anything else from the menu?

Item and price come from Toast, not a frozen FAQ.

Phone call

Hours while you're on expo

Hi, are you open past 10 on Friday?
We're open until 11pm on Fridays. Kitchen last orders at 10:30. Want a reservation or directions?

Hours and last-order window come from Toast.

WhatsApp

Order status after checkout

I ordered about 20 min ago under Maya, check 47. Is it ready?
Check 47 for Maya is still in prep. We'll message when it's ready for pickup. About 8 to 12 more minutes.
Perfect, thanks.

Matched in Toast by check number and name.

Allergy / dish detail

Is the Caesar dressing anchovy-free? And what sides come with the roast chicken?
Our Caesar dressing does contain anchovy. The roast chicken comes with roasted potatoes and seasonal greens. We can swap a side if you want.

Dish text from your Toast menu descriptions.

Live in a day. Nothing to rip out.

Toast stays put. WhatsApp stays yours. DeskWiz answers when you can't.

You get the roundup

A nightly note: what came in, what got answered, and anything that still needs you.

For owners who still pick up the phone themselves.

Neighborhood spots, cafés, independents, multi-unit groups on Toast: thin floor, guest messages still hitting someone's personal phone.

  • Full-service rooms fielding "are you open?" and "still doing brunch?" all day
  • Counter and takeout kitchens buried in "is it ready?"
  • Groups that want the same voice at every location, with each site's own Toast menu
  • Teams already on WhatsApp Business who are not switching inboxes

Read-only. Your POS stays in charge.

DeskWiz uses Toast Standard API access to look up menus, restaurant info, and orders. Credentials stay on your account. We never place or change orders through this connection.

Straight answers.

The questions people ask before they plug a POS into anything new.

Does DeskWiz change anything in Toast?

No. The connection is read-only. It looks up menu, restaurant info, and order status. It does not place orders, void checks, or edit the menu.

What Toast plan do I need?

Standard API access on Restaurant Management Suite Essentials or higher. Create credentials in Toast Web under Integrations → Toast API access. You'll want scopes like menus:read, orders:read, restaurants:read, and guest.pi:read so orders can match by phone.

Will answers sound like a robot?

No. DeskWiz replies in your restaurant's voice: warm, plain, brief. Guests hear your front desk, not a script that announces itself.

What if the answer isn't in Toast?

Policies and house rules come from your knowledge base. If something is unclear, it flags you instead of guessing.

Is this only for full-service restaurants?

No. Restaurants, cafés, fast casual, bakeries with pickup: any Toast spot that gets menu, hours, and order questions on WhatsApp or phone.

How long does setup take?

Most places are live within a day. Connecting Toast is a few fields once the API credentials exist. We walk the rest with you.

DeskWiz + Toast
