Connection details

What connects to Toast?

Confirm API access, restaurant locations, and recipe mappings with the onboarding team.

Walk through your setup →

Toast → LineNow: menus and closed orders: The Toast Standard API connection reads restaurant, menu, and order data. Signed webhook processing helps keep supported activity current; availability depends on your configured access.
LineNow: ingredients and purchasing: Map menu items to ingredient quantities and restaurant locations. Review sizes and modifiers against your actual recipes before relying on the usage estimate.
A read-only Toast connection: LineNow does not write menu prices, orders, payments, or ingredient stock back to Toast through this connection. Receiving and counts in this workflow are managed in LineNow.
Pilot one complete order: Connect one restaurant, check a menu item and its recipe, review a closed order, and complete a supplier purchase and receipt before expanding.
