What's the best scheduling software for restaurants on Toast?

How Axial works with Toast

• Connect Axial from the Toast marketplace. Setup is quick, and Axial pulls up to three years of history.
• Toast data arrives through webhooks, so sales show up during service.
• Schedules built in Axial can sync back to Toast.
• Toast charges its own monthly fee per location for integration access.

How the forecast drives the schedule

• Axial builds a separate AI forecast model for every store, for sales and guest counts, updated daily for the next 28 days.
• The forecast can auto-select the right schedule template for each day, by sales band.
• Auto-Scheduling builds the schedule from your demand forecast and your rules, not last week's template. A manager reviews it before it goes out.
• AI-Based Forecasting (+$25) and Auto-Scheduling (+$35) can be added to any plan.

What else you get on top of Toast

• Time and attendance: a punch clock on a store tablet or NFC stickers, with approval before payroll
• Tip pooling calculated automatically each day
• Daily Guide, dashboards and sales contests built on item-level Toast data

Built for multi-unit groups

• Reports roll up by region, concept and brand.
• Employees who work at more than one store can't be double-booked, and overtime counts across every store.
• Payroll exports to Dayforce, UKG, Paylocity and Workday.
