If your restaurant or hospitality business uses Toast’s powerful Point of Sale (POS) system, you know how impactful data in the cloud can be on your operations. By combining Toast with MarketMan, the industry leading cloud-based inventory management system, you can centralize all your inventory, ordering, and invoicing with a continuous stream of accurate data, right from your point of sale.

How does MarketMan work with Toast?

MarketMan and Toast seamlessly integrate via an API that retrieves items sold simultaneously with inventory items used. As a robust POS system designed to manage orders for every customer, party, and table, Toast excels at enabling your staff to accelerate turn times and ensuring accurate orders are plated on time. Combining Toast with MarketMan ensures every sale, modification, and substitution is logged and depleted from your inventory.

How does POS data work in MarketMan?

MarketMan is an inventory management system that manages every item and ingredient in your inventory in real-time. Organized by recipe, MarketMan depletes individual ingredients from your stock whenever a purchase is recorded. So when a customer uses a Toast self-checkout Kiosk, orders at the bar, or has their order taken by the waitstaff, MarketMan automatically pulls that data from Toast and depletes it from your inventory.

What about modifiers and substitutions?

Modifiers and substitutions made in Toast POS are automatically recorded in MarketMan. You’ll never lose track of a double cheese, double onions, hold the pickles order again.

Can MarketMan manage ordering and procurement?

MarketMan allows you to automate inventory ordering and invoicing. You can set par levels and low stock alerts, and configure auto-ordering whenever levels dip below a set threshold. With MarketMan’s mobile app, you can scan invoices and upload them to your accounting software automatically.

What’s unique about Toast inventory management through MarketMan?

MarketMan can help you scale your restaurant operations to any level: whether you own a single shop, a franchise, or even a virtual kitchen. Powered by the accurate data derived from your Toast POS, MarketMan can make your inventory counting, supplier relationships, and restaurant reporting more efficient than ever before.

Managing multiple properties, restaurants, and revenue streams

MarketMan can scale with the size of your business, which is especially helpful when managing shared inventories or multiple revenue streams.
