Toast also plans to build new capabilities to help in enhancing the restaurant employee experience and deepening the restaurant-customer experience. It will also invest in developing new financial products that will help restaurateurs with access to new funding.

Toast CEO Chris Comparato said: “As a result of our tremendous growth and commitment to the restaurant industry, we have continued to see a significant amount of demand from the investor community.

“As the clear platform leader in the restaurant space, we are excited to use this investment to extend our capabilities and drive a bigger impact for the restaurant industry.”

In July 2018, Toast raised $115m in Series D funding followed by $250m in the Series E in April last year.

Subsequently, Toast acquired human resource (HR) and payroll software provider for restaurants StratEx in July.
