Toast is built to make restaurants better. Why does a restaurant need a cloud-based point of sale system like Toast that offers real time software updates?
Because using modern up-to-date tech tools like Toast for your restaurant or other business is incredibly important to making sure you stay profitable into the future.
In order to thrive and survive in a technological world, you need to make the most out of the wealth of technology available to you.
In the Toast onboarding video our GM and partner, Eric Olafsen, who has worked with us since before we installed Aloha in 2008, explains the simple back office Toast set up process.
“It’s easy,” the Cali BBQ General Manager said. “It’s basically just unplugging and plugging things in and setting up terminals, which is very easy and I would think most people could do. Obviously Toast will help you out if you’re not comfortable with that.”

When we realized that it was finally time for Cali BBQ to make the investment for the future of our digital-first brand, we started the process of learning about the benefits of switching to Toast, Inc. from Aloha, which we had been using for the last twelve years.
Switching from Aloha to Toast made sense for us for a number of reasons. The more we learned about the solutions, the technology, the company, and the people driving the enterprise, the more exciting the process became.
Watch our Toast point of sale and management system unboxing video to see more about why Cali BBQ made this significant restaurant upgrade.
Our digital restaurant made the switch from our Aloha POS to Toast’s point of sale system so that we can meet the increasing demands of our Digital Hospitality ambitions and thesis.
During #covid19 we turned our full-service family restaurant, which we have been running for the last twelve years, into a digital restaurant for delivery and online takeout only.
Here is our Digital Hospitality: A CaliBBQ.Media Podcast video explaining why and how we use tech tools in our new business model.

Toast is horrible, locked us into a contract and then raised our credit card fees. Could never reach support after they laid off half of their staff. So many better companies out their than these crooks
Who do you use now?
So how is your Toast system working now that you have unboxed and switched over from Aloha? I see several videos on other changes and digital tools you are using but was hoping to see an update on Toast experience (tracking tickets, card fees, training staff, integrating staff scheduling, etc). Love your other videos … nice job on keeping up with digital trends.
That’s a great idea. Our team is already discussing your comment and completely agree that we should do updates on the overall experience with Toast! Coming soon and thank you for your comment! -Stover (Digital Hospitality Specialist)
