To manually create a guest record without placing an order or swiping a credit card, you can use the Lookup Customer function on a Toast POS device. After you search the database, you can add a record.
To add a guest record you must have the Manager access permission. Then, follow these steps.
-
Log on to a Toast POS device.
-
Under Manager Activities select Lookup Customer.
-
Enter a telephone number or tap Name/Email to enter a name or email address, and then tap the magnifying glass icon to search for an existing guest record.
An option to add a record appears regardless of whether the system finds any matches for your search term.
-
Select Add New Customer.
-
Enter the guest's first name, last name, and 10-digit telephone number. You can also enter an email address.
-
Select Add.
