What Is Toast Tables

Toast Tables is a reservation, waitlist, and table management product built by Toast, Inc., the restaurant technology company behind the Toast point-of-sale platform. Toast introduced Tables in April 2023 to give restaurants an alternative to running a separate, disconnected reservation system alongside their POS, instead syncing guest bookings, host workflows, and seating data directly with Toast's existing platform.

The product runs primarily as a host-facing app on an iPad or Android tablet at the host stand, paired with management and reporting tools accessible from Toast Web on any browser. Because it shares data with the rest of the Toast ecosystem, a restaurant's guest profiles, visit history, and loyalty information can follow a diner from the reservation stage through seating and the final check.

Toast Tables competes directly with dedicated reservation platforms like OpenTable, Resy, and Tock, but its key differentiator is that it is built into the same system restaurants already use to run payments and orders, rather than requiring operators to reconcile bookings between two separate vendors.

Key Features

Toast Tables lets host staff manage a live floor plan, seat walk-ins, add parties to a digital waitlist, and notify guests by text message when their table is ready. It accepts both in-person and online reservations, syncing all bookings into a single view so hosts always know what's coming next.

Guest profiles carry information from across the Toast platform, so returning diners can be recognized and personalized service can be extended based on prior visit history, order preferences, or loyalty status tracked through Toast Marketing and Loyalty. Real-time table status updates flow back to servers and managers automatically.

Toast has expanded Tables' reach through an integration with Google, allowing guests to search for and book a table directly from a restaurant's Google Business Profile without leaving Google's search results, in addition to bookings made through Toast's own guest-facing widgets.

Pricing

Toast Tables is priced separately from the core Toast POS subscription. The base plan costs 50 dollars per month and includes unlimited waitlist management plus 25 reservations per month. Restaurants that need more booking volume can upgrade to Toast Tables Plus at 199 dollars per month, which removes the reservation cap and offers unlimited waitlist and reservations together.

As with other Toast products, Toast Tables is only available to restaurants running on the Toast POS platform, so its cost is layered on top of whatever core POS and payment processing plan a restaurant already has with Toast, rather than functioning as a fully standalone product.
