      Toast consistently bills incorrectly. I file complaint after complaint with our rep and with online agents. It never gets resolved. I shouldn't have to inspect my invoice each month to see what type of fraudulent charges they are taking on each month. I do not have 7 terminals. I have 6. I do not have any handhelds. I've explained this so many times to them. I've never signed up for marketing, loyalty or toast order and pay. But they keep charging.

      Toast was supposed to handle a problem that I am having with the leasing company. As of today, this issue has gone to collections and Toast has not handled it in any way. They don't even call me back.

      We hired Toast for our business in September for our point of sales. We were not able to use their services because they require Ethernet internet and we are a mobile unit and were not able to have that kind of service. So we started the return/refund process with them on December 13th. We did not receive our return labels until Jan. 5th. It is now the 19th and we have not been refunded. And also no one is answering emails or phone calls.

      We purchased toast equipment with a 2 year warranty on electronics. With this there is a monthly subscriptions for each handheld. During their bank change and update many card readers which we own stopped working.They think that because they are out of warranty there not responsible for causing the issue. There is no upper management or account manager that will even help or call us. We had to purchase all new equipment for five thousand dollars to keep our business running. They also did a software update that was very important to us during thanksgiving and removed the server sales reports because they thought it was not necessary.They are responsible to fix there equipment and put back the reports we signed up for.

      I placed an order online for a pizza. Toast handled the transaction and sent me an email saying the pizza would be ready in 3 days because the restaurant is closed. Since Toast does not offer order cancelation electronically, I called them to cancel and get my money back. I was on the phone, most of the time on hold for over 40 minutes. The customer service lady was very nice, but management refused to take my call. They said they won't reverse my payment or cancel my order until the restaurant opens back up, which I assume is in 3 days since that's when I was told my order would be ready. I called the restaurant and they are closed. I find it unacceptable that Toast is refusing to help me and refused to let me speak to a manger. The customer service agent I spoke to was in communication with her manager, but the manager refused to talk to me. All this over a $12 order.

      I ordered a pos system from this company, I did not end up needing it so they accepted my return and has been about 4 months now and still no refund. I have spent countless hours on the phone with toast to get this resolved to no resolution. I have been promised by many employees this would be resolved and then I don't hear from them. They even provided the return labels for the items back in June and they were used for the refund.

      I can not cancel the account with them, they will not return my calls, I can not get through to anyone, I have been hung up on by their customer service team over seas numerous times, they continue to charge me relentlessly and I have no way to cancel online or over the phone. This company is a SCAM. I have not operated at my old location for months and they continue to charge me.

      On 11/23/2021 I purchased a restaurant system from Toast POS. After doing so I contacted them wishing to cancel the order. I was made aware that the order was canceled on 11/29/2021 and that a refund would be issued. It is now 12/20/2021 I have waited the time they stated it would take and still have not received my refund in the amount of $224.29.

      Fradulent activity occurred on my account and they refuse to acknowledge! Ive been paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars and they are refusing to refund me the money that is owed to me. This is theft! I am the owner of this business and I am not sure who allows this to authorize any of these transactions! They said they would look into it its been a week and of course I hear nothing! You cant charge anyone for services that were not authorized!
