IntegrationWorkforce Wave + Toast

Toast runs the POS. WFW answers the phone.

WFW connects to the Toast Platform API. Menu inquiries are answered from live Toast data. Order status updates go out automatically. After-hours calls capture catering and event inquiries — not voicemail.

Delivery platform AI callers checking order status get structured JSON. Human customers get conversation. One WFW integration handles both.

Live Data Flow — Menu Inquiry + A2A Order Check

WFWInbound call — customer asking about gluten-free options
ToastMenu API: 6 GF items returned with descriptions + prices
Agent"We have 6 gluten-free options tonight — our GF pasta is $18."
WFWSeparate: DoorDash AI caller checks order #4821 status
ToastOrder status: In kitchen → JSON response returned to delivery AI

A2A dual-mode — customers + delivery platforms

Human customers get voice. Delivery platform AI gets structured JSON. Toast data powers both.

Capabilities

What this integration enables.

Three concrete capabilities unlocked by connecting WFW to Toast.

Live Data

Menu Inquiry Calls — Hours, Specials, Allergens

When customers call asking about hours, daily specials, dietary accommodations, or menu items, the agent queries Toast for current menu data. Specials that change daily are always accurate — the agent reads from Toast, not a static knowledge base.

Live Data

Order Status Update Calls

WFW queries Toast for order status and initiates outbound calls when orders are ready for pickup or when delivery estimates change significantly. Customers stay informed without calling back — reducing inbound call volume during peak service.

Live Data

After-Hours Message Capture and A2A Delivery Responses

After closing, the agent captures customer messages — reservations, catering inquiries, event requests — and logs them for morning staff review. Delivery platform AI callers checking order status receive structured JSON, not an unanswered phone.

Data Flow

How it works.

From caller identification to menu answer or order status — what moves between WFW and Toast.

1

Caller type identified — customer or A2A

WFW determines whether the inbound call is from a human customer or an A2A caller (delivery platform, aggregator AI). Human customers get voice conversation. A2A callers checking order status get structured JSON with the current Toast order state.

2

Menu and location data queried from Toast

For menu inquiries, WFW queries the Toast menu API for current items, prices, allergen flags, and daily specials. Location-specific data — hours, address, parking — is pulled from the Toast location configuration.

3

Order status checked against Toast POS

For order status inquiries, the agent looks up the order in Toast using the confirmation number or customer phone. Status — received, in kitchen, ready for pickup, dispatched — is spoken to the customer from the live Toast record.

4

Analytics and call data available via API

GET /v2/agents/{id}/calls provides call analytics across all Toast-connected locations — call volume, peak inquiry times, most-asked menu questions, and order status call frequency — for the restaurant manager's review.

Use Cases

Before and after.

Real restaurant phone workflows transformed by the Toast + WFW integration.

Menu Inquiry Calls

Before

Staff fielding "are you open?" and "what are your specials today?" calls during lunch rush. Informational calls pull staff away from in-restaurant guests at the worst possible time.

After

WFW answers every informational call instantly with current Toast data. Staff never interrupted for hours or menu questions. Peak-hour phone volume drops measurably.

Order Status Updates

Before

Customers calling in to ask if their takeout order is ready. Each call takes 2–3 minutes from a staff member who is actively working the line.

After

WFW calls customers proactively when their Toast order hits "ready" status. Inbound "is my order ready?" calls drop substantially. Staff focus on service, not status updates.

After-Hours Capture

Before

Calls after closing go unanswered. Catering inquiries, large group reservations, and event requests are lost entirely or found in a voicemail queue the next morning.

After

WFW answers after-hours calls, captures the inquiry type, contact details, and request specifics, and logs them in a structured queue for morning staff. Every inquiry gets a response.
