Toast POS Inventory Integration Setup
Connect your Toast POS to Spend Friend for real-time perpetual inventory, instant variance tracking, and AI-powered ordering.
How Toast POS Integration Works
When you connect Toast POS to Spend Friend, every drink sold at your bar automatically deducts from your perpetual inventory count. This means you always know what's on hand without physically counting, and when you do count, the system instantly compares your physical count against what Toast says you sold—calculating variance in real time.
Setup Steps
- Connect Toast — Link your Toast POS account in Spend Friend dashboard
