Why Toast Users Need a Smarter Way to Build Digital Menus
Restaurants running Toast POS already have a powerful system managing their menu data — item names, prices, descriptions, allergens, and availability. But when it comes to displaying that information on digital menu boards, most operators still face a frustrating disconnect. They retype items manually, double-check prices across systems, and scramble to update screens when something changes. OSM Solutions built a better way. With Toast fields inside Menuboard Manager, restaurants can pull live menu data directly from Toast and turn it into stunning digital displays in minutes — no manual entry, no middleware, no hassle.
How Toast Fields Turn POS Data into Screen-Ready Menus
The Toast fields feature inside Menuboard Manager follows an intuitive three-step process that any restaurant manager can master. First, you connect your Toast account and browse your complete menu catalog. Select every item or cherry-pick specific categories — prices, descriptions, and dietary details import automatically with perfect accuracy.
Next, organize those imported fields into meaningful groups. Cluster your appetizers, separate your beverages, and isolate limited-time offers into their own sections. The built-in editor lets you customize fonts, colors, and labels so everything aligns with your brand. For operators who want elevated visuals, OSM Solutions offers professional content design services that deliver polished, broadcast-quality layouts.
Finally, drag your organized sections onto your menu board background and position them with pixel-perfect precision. What used to take hours of production work is now finished in minutes, ready to publish across every screen in your location.
Real-Time Syncing That Handles the Unexpected
The real power of Toast fields extends far beyond initial menu creation. When your kitchen runs out of salmon or you need to adjust pricing for happy hour, simply make the change in Toast. Menuboard Manager syncs automatically, updating every connected display without any manual intervention. This 86/68 item management capability means sold-out dishes disappear from screens instantly and reappear the moment they are back in stock. There is no need to log into separate platforms, redeploy presentations, or call your IT team. Your digital menu boards stay accurate in real time, every time.
The Only Native Toast Integration for Digital Menu Boards
In 2025, Menuboard Manager remains the only digital menu board CMS offering a truly native Toast integration. There are no fragile third-party API bridges that break during platform updates and no clunky workarounds that demand constant monitoring. The connection is direct, stable, and purpose-built for the demands of restaurant operations. That reliability is why quick-service chains, fast-casual brands, airport concessions, and independent eateries all trust OSM Solutions to power thousands of Toast-driven menu screens nationwide.
