At a glance

  • Toast Go 3 POS launched in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia
  • Handheld device for ordering and payments at the table
  • Built for high-volume restaurant and foodservice operations
  • Battery designed to last more than 24 hours
  • Works on both Wi-Fi and cellular networks
  • Includes real-time menu updates and upsell prompts
  • Supports faster service and reduced staff movement

The handheld system allows staff to take orders and complete payments directly at the table, removing the need to return to fixed tills during busy service periods.

The rollout reflects a wider shift toward mobile operations, as operators look for tools that can handle complex service models across dine-in, takeaway, and outdoor environments.

Toast Go 3 POS is built for constant use. The device is designed to withstand drops and spills while maintaining performance across long operating hours.

Software is integrated directly into the device. Staff can access menu updates, upsell prompts, and shift changes in real time, helping standardise service across teams and locations.

Connectivity is a key feature. The system can switch between Wi-Fi and cellular networks, allowing orders and payments to continue even during network disruption or peak demand.

For operators, the benefit is operational. Faster order flow, fewer delays, and less movement between tables and terminals.

The launch also signals a broader shift across uk retail technology, where mobile POS systems are expanding beyond restaurants into supermarket cafés, prepared food counters, and convenience formats.

Retailers are adopting similar handheld tools to improve speed, increase basket size, and support more flexible store operations.

Toast said the device is available in both Wi-Fi-only and cellular versions, for new customers and as an upgrade for existing users.

The direction is clear. Service is moving away from fixed checkout points and into the hands of staff, as mobile POS becomes central to both foodservice and retail operations.
