- Simplify complex, scaled operator workflows, helping restaurants manage menus, locations, and configurations with clarity and consistency
- Contribute to the evolution of AI-driven tools that help operators make better, faster decisions
- Apply systems thinking to design and evolve platform-level experiences (e.g., multi-location management, restaurant configuration, menu management) that scale coherently across multiple product lines
- Partner closely with the Design System team to ensure consistency and long-term extensibility
- Participate in design critiques and reviews, giving and receiving feedback that strengthens the quality of the work

Our take
Running a restaurant means managing a stressful set of elements, all needing to work together seamlessly to create a good experience for diners. Toast helps to streamline processes, and puts an end to piles of paperwork, by providing a platform whereby tableside ordering, menu modifications, labour management, payroll, and more are all housed in one system that can run from a tablet.
Toast offers restaurant-grade hardware and cloud-based, customisable payment solutions to serve clients from startup through to growth phase, as well as a service for established restaurants. By combining all the digital services a restaurant might need, the platform can act as the one and comprehensive solution for restaurants of any size, avoiding restaurateurs from having to invest in a range of technologies.
Toast has over 70,000 restaurants on its books, from food trucks to national brands, and its mobile ordering and payment solutions have made it a recognized brand for consumers. The company's IPO in 2021 saw it valued at over $30 billion and since then, it has added more features to its product suite including wholesale and catering order tools. Toast then, has proven its place as an indispensable player in the restaurant space.
