How it works

From the menu in Toast to every guest-facing display

Five steps, guided by the Garnsh team. The first three happen once. The last two become a short habit.

  1. 1

    Confirm the restaurant and location.

    We start with what exists: your locations, the surfaces guests use today, and who on your team will own publishing. Nothing is connected yet.

    Connect the menu source through the approved setup.

    Garnsh connects to the menu context your Toast access allows. Location mapping then ties each Garnsh location to its own menu.

    • Guided, not self-serve
    • Depends on your Toast access
    • One mapped menu per location

    Shape the right display for the right surface.

    Choose layouts, themes, sections and promo areas for each hosted page, embed, QR view and board.

    Preview and publish the public version.

    Preview shows each surface exactly as guests will see it. Publishing is a deliberate action, and earlier versions are kept.

    Monitor the published state and recover safely when needed.

    Freshness shows when the source was last read and when each version went live. Rollback restores the previous version. Last-known-good keeps a correct menu up if something upstream fails.

FAQ

Straight answers.

How long does setup take?

It depends on your Toast access, number of locations and surfaces. Onboarding is guided, and timing is planned with you.

What is a last-known-good menu?

The most recent menu version that was published successfully. Garnsh keeps it public if an upstream issue occurs.

Are updates instant?

No. Garnsh uses a preview and deliberate publish step and does not claim guaranteed sync timing.
