How It Works
Once connected, Garde will:- Pull your daily sales data from Toast automatically each morning
- Import labor data (shifts, employees, job titles)
- Enable PMIX data for theoretical usage reporting (if configured)
Getting Connected
Your Garde onboarding team handles the Toast connection for you. If you’re not yet connected, or need to connect a new location, reach out to contact@garde.app.What you’ll need to provide:
- Your Toast Restaurant Management Suite subscription must be active (Toast requires this for all partner integrations)
- Admin access to your Toast account
- The location(s) you want to connect
Note: Toast charges a monthly fee for partner integrations, which is separate from your Garde subscription. This fee appears in your Toast billing.
After Connection
Once your onboarding team confirms the connection is active:- Navigate to Settings > Connected Data in Garde to verify Toast appears as connected.
- Go to Labor > Setup to configure your overtime rules:
- Click Manage Time Sheet Rules
- Select Set Custom Overtime Rules
- Fill out your Weekly Overtime Rules (and Daily if applicable)
- Click Save
Including Credit Card Fees
Some restaurants want credit card fees (merchant fees) included on their Toast sales entries. Garde shows these under a line called “Deposit Summary: Fees” in the sales entry.Important timing notes:
- Credit card fees from Toast typically take 2-3 days to appear (this is controlled by Toast, not Garde).
- Check your sales entries before exporting to make sure fees have populated.
- If you use auto-export, set a 3-day delay on sales entry exports:
- Go to your integration settings and find “Days to delay sending sales entry to accounting”
- Set it to 3
Once a sales entry has been exported to your accounting system, Garde will not retroactively update it with fee data. Make sure fees are present before exporting.
