RightPlace with Toast

Toast tips: get more out of the Toast you already have.

Toast is built to run your orders and payments. RightPlace runs beside it, often on the same Toast screen, to handle the door, the line and the guests deciding where to go tonight. Here is how they fit, and a few tips for busy nights.

Keep Toast doing what it does best

Toast rings up the sale, runs the card and keeps your menu, checks and payments. RightPlace leaves all of that alone. It covers the parts of the night that happen before and around the check: the door, the line, the kitchen pass, the guests who are deciding where to go tonight, and the regulars you want back next week.

Nothing to install on Toast, nothing to switch off, and nothing to retrain on the register. No hardware required.

Where RightPlace runs on a Toast setup

Toast Flex register and kitchen screens: Toast’s own help pages walk owners through opening a web browser on them, so RightPlace can sit on the screen you already use.
Toast Go 3 handhelds: Toast says they don’t support a web browser, so servers use RightPlace on a phone or another device instead.
Toast screens are smaller than most tablets, so RightPlace’s host stand and kitchen screens slim down to fit them.
Not sure about your model? Toast can tell you whether yours opens a browser. Any tablet, laptop or phone beside it works either way.

Toast help: opening a browser on Toast Flex: Toast’s article tells owners to open the web browser on the device.
Toast help: Toast Go 3 apps: Toast Go 3 does not support web browser use.

Tip: keep a spare device or two charged in case a server’s phone dies. Staff can use their own devices if they like.

Get more out of Toast (advice any spot can use)

Use your Toast sales reports to find your slowest night and hour, then put one simple deal on exactly that window instead of a week-long discount.
Keep your Toast menu export current. A clean item list makes every other tool you add, RightPlace included, match your buttons.
Give the host stand its own screen on busy nights so the register line isn’t also the waitlist line.
When an item runs out, mark it out on Toast and tell the floor at once. Tap “86 an item” in RightPlace’s kitchen screen and server phones, the host stand and the Door TV all show it sold out.
Tap Rung in with the Toast check number when a phone or order-ahead ticket goes on the register, so nothing gets made without being rung.

What RightPlace adds beside Toast

A posted wait guests can see: The host posts the wait with one tap. Guests looking for a spot tonight see it with the time it was updated, and can tap On the way.
Deals that fill slow nights: Post a deal from the host stand with a start, an end and a photo. Guests see a countdown, so a Tuesday special works on Tuesday.
A kitchen screen for RightPlace orders: Food ordered ahead and server phone orders show on a kitchen screen. A "Rung in" list shows which tickets still need to go on Toast, with the check number once they do.
A TV by the door: Any smart TV shows the wait, tonight’s specials, games and photos from tonight.
Table requests by scan code: A guest scans the code on the table to ask for a refill, the check or a to-go box. It goes to that table’s server.
A Night Report in plain numbers: Parties seated through RightPlace, deals used and times, counted from your staff’s taps. Your sales numbers stay in Toast.

Already have a waitlist or reservations?

Toast sells its own waitlist and reservations tool, Toast Tables, and if you use it, keep it. RightPlace’s biggest help for Toast spots is the other side of the door: guests looking for a spot tonight see the wait you posted and your deals, tap On the way, and come back for the perks you set. You can also run your waitlist on RightPlace instead; pick whichever your host likes.

Set it up in a few minutes

Pick a screen: Use a screen you already have where it can open a web browser, or any tablet, laptop or phone beside the register.
Open getrightplace.app: Sign in with your spot’s 6-digit code. There is nothing to download from an app store.
Bring your menu over: Export your items from Toast as a CSV file and pick it in RightPlace. You see everything before it saves, and the names match your Toast buttons.
Run a night: The host stand, kitchen, servers and Door TV each open on their own screen. Payments keep going through Toast.

Toast is a trademark of its owner. RightPlace is a separate company, not affiliated with or endorsed by Toast, and RightPlace does not connect to Toast: it runs beside it in a web browser.

Questions owners ask

Can RightPlace run on my Toast screen?

Often, yes. Toast’s own help pages show how to open a web browser on Toast Flex register and kitchen screens. Toast Go 3 handhelds can’t open a browser, so servers use a phone or another device.

Can I import my Toast menu?

Yes. Export your items from Toast as a CSV file and pick it in RightPlace. You see everything before it saves, and items keep their Toast names.

Does RightPlace replace Toast?

No. Toast keeps every sale, card payment and check. RightPlace never takes payment and runs beside your register in a web browser.
