Zayos vs Toast Online Ordering: do I have to choose?
You do not have to choose. Zayos runs alongside Toast POS: it adds a branded ordering site on your own domain and sends those orders into Toast as tickets. Toast bills its own $50 a month for the integration. Zayos is a flat $399, $499 or $599 per location per month.

What does Toast say about itself?
- Toast publishes its plans and prices on its own pricing page. We could not read that page directly on 4 October 2026, so no Toast price is restated here.
- Ask Toast for your current plan, your online ordering terms and any per-order fees in writing, and compare them with the Zayos column below.

A Toast restaurant that wants its own domain, its own customer list, marketing and loyalty built in, and delivery-app orders on one tablet, without changing its register. Limits: ordering sites are English only and there is no branded mobile app.
