Toast launched its Toast Go 3 handheld point-of-sale (POS) device today in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and Australia [1].
This expansion into international markets allows restaurant and retail operators to move payment processing and order entry up to the customer, bringing the service experience directly to the table or the front of the house.
According to the company, the device is designed to enhance service and deliver dependable performance for operators [2]. The Toast Go 3 is an evolution of previous handhelds, aiming to unlock additional revenue revenue potential wherever restaurants operate [4].
Hardware specifications include an IP65 rating [5], a 24-hour battery-life, and the ability to withstand drops from five feet [5]. These features are intended to reduce downtime and minimize hardware failure in high-pressure environment—a critical need for high-volume establishments.
Toast said the device builds on years of innovation that powers billions of orders and helps operators deliver consistent service [1]. The integration of cellular connectivity and ToastIQ allows the device to function across various environments without relying solely on local Wi-Fi networks.
"Toast today launched its Toast Go 3 handheld point-of-sale (POS) device in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and Australia," Toast said [1].
While the launch is global in nature, the company is focusing on its initial rollout in these same four countries to ensure stability of the service [1].
“The device is IP65-rated, includes 24-hour battery life, and the ability to withstand drops from five feet.”
The launch of the Toast Go 3 represents a shift toward mobile-first POS systems in the international hospitality sector. By reducing reliance on on traditional fixed terminals and increasing hardware durability, Toast Toast is positioning itself to compete with legacy POS providers by offering a tool that optimizes table turnover and increases average check sizes through faster, more reliable payment processing.
