What Toast says about menu board partners

Toast is a restaurant register system. For menu screens, Toast points owners to partner companies. Toast's support page says it has "a variety of menu board integration partners." To see them, open Integrations, then Integration management, then Browse & purchase integrations, and choose Digital Signage. You can read the answer on Toast's support page (last updated Dec 17, 2025).

So your choices are not only the partners in that list. A menu board can also run next to your Toast register on its own TV, the way a printed menu would.

Your options at a Toast restaurant

Most owners end up with one of three paths. Each one is fair. Pick the one that matches your time and your TV.

  • A partner from the Toast list. Good if you want the board and the register to be set up together. Ask what the partner charges per screen, in writing, before you say yes.
  • A board that runs next to Toast. The register stays as it is. The board is its own thing on its own TV.
  • Do it yourself. Make a slide or an image, put it on a TV, and change it by hand. It costs little and takes your time each week. A cafe owner might spend 20 minutes every Sunday night on it.

None of these is wrong. A busy shop with one TV and no spare hour often picks the second path. A shop that wants one bill and one setup call often picks the first.

We make the second kind. If you want to see what a finished board looks like first, read what small shops really pay.

Running Wow next to Toast today

Here is a real week. A burger place on Toast changes its lunch combo on Monday. The owner changes the price in Toast, as always. Then she does one more thing for the screens.

  1. Change it in Toast, the way you always do.
  2. Send us the change. Text it or use the contact form. "Lunch combo, new price, from Monday" is enough.
  3. We update your board and send it to your screens. The new price shows at the next refresh.

Today, Toast and your board are two places to update. The board does not read Toast by itself. Our own shop works the same way: we change a price at our register, then we change it on the board. A same-day habit keeps them matched.

Two price blocks on a Sweet Aloha menu board: milkshakes by size and pints and quarts to go
Two blocks from our treats board: sizes on the left, one big price each. A lunch menu can use the same plan.

Who does what, side by side

Whichever path you take, keep the jobs clear. Here is how it splits when the board runs next to Toast.

Put the right things on the board

A restaurant on Toast can have hundreds of menu items. A guest cannot read hundreds. Keep the board to what people choose most.

For a lunch spot, try three blocks: Burgers (6 items), Sides (4) and Drinks (5). Use about 48 pixels for item names and 56 for prices on a 1080p screen, so they can be read from across the room. Keep one clear photo for the combo you want to sell.

Write prices the same way everywhere. If the register says 9.50, the board says 9.50. Mixed styles make people stop and think.

Questions to ask before you pick a menu board

Ask every company the same short list.

  • How does a price change reach the screen? Ask them to show one real change.
  • Do I get billed by Toast or by you? Know who sends the bill, and for how much.
  • Do I need a new TV? You may already own one that works.
  • What happens if the internet drops? The screen should keep playing.
  • Can I cancel any time? Ask before you sign.

Our answers: Basic is $12 per screen, per month, and Standard ($19) and Pro ($29) are listed on the pricing page. There is no contract. The first 14 days are free, with no card. See what works with your register today.
