Toast is automatable through its API

Toast is automatable today through its REST APIs. The API overview says the platform supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, plus outbound APIs that Toast calls on the integrator's HTTPS endpoint. Named APIs include orders, menus, restaurants, labor, stock, configuration, kitchen, cash management, analytics, gift cards, loyalty, and tenders. Which methods a client can call depends on the integration type. Partner and custom access is granted for a specific implementation, and the overview says the listed methods are the full range rather than the permissions a given client receives. Authentication is the OAuth 2 client-credentials grant. The client POSTs clientId, clientSecret, and userAccessType TOAST_MACHINE_CLIENT to /authentication/v1/authentication/login. The JSON response includes a bearer accessToken and expiresIn. Later calls send Authorization Bearer. Location-specific calls also send Toast-Restaurant-External-ID with the restaurant GUID. A missing or expired token returns 401. A valid token without the required scope, or a restaurant GUID the client cannot access, returns 403. Partner and custom credentials are created by the Toast integrations team after approval. Standard API and analytics credentials can be created in Toast Web. The platform page describes a cloud point of sale and lists a Starter Kit starting at $0 per month and Point of Sale starting at $69 per month, with hardware and extra-device charges in the footnotes. No Toast MCP server was established from the pages opened here. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 6 because the catalog is broad and call access is still gated by integration type and scopes.
