About The Position

Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy. The Toast POS app is the central pillar of Toast’s restaurant products. Every day, many thousands of servers, hosts, bartenders, and chefs use Toast’s POS to serve millions of guests! At Toast, Android isn’t just one of multiple mobile platforms -- Android is the foundational technology stack for our POS products. In fact, Toast designs and sells our own specialized Android tablets so we can provide the best integrated hardware/software products. Our POS Payments Experience team powers some of the restaurant’s most critical workflows (checking out, taking payments) across a coordinated network of tablets and peripherals that are typically used for 10-12 hours a day. The POS needs to work as fast as possible, and if the network has problems, the POS needs to keep running! Addressing these demanding requirements means pushing our technology stack to the limits. While the technical challenges are demanding, the impact of our work on our customers is tangible and direct. Our customers spend all day using the POS. When we design new features with a great UX, we can improve the staff’s job satisfaction, the guest experience, and the restaurant’s bottom line. Small changes in the tightest loops pay off many thousands of times over. Innovative new features from Toast help our restaurants thrive in the face of today’s ever-changing restaurant landscape.
