Toast Tables makes sense for one kind of restaurant: one already running Toast POS. Because reservations, experiences, waitlist and table management live in the same system as the checks, the digital floor plan updates table status as service moves, and hosts can quote waits from real seating timelines. Guest notes, special requests and visit history follow the guest to Toast handhelds and Guestbook, so servers can spot regulars. The tool also handles two-way SMS, VIP tags, server rotations, cover counts and deposits, and guests can book on your website, the Local by Toast app or Reserve with Google. Toast says the base tier starts at $50 to $75 a month for up to 25 reservations with unlimited waitlists, and Toast Tables Plus at $199 a month removes the reservation cap. That cap makes the base tier a waitlist tool in practice. It is an add-on only, so restaurants on another POS should look elsewhere.
