Configuring Toast Marketing Settings

The Toast Marketing settings page contains information and configuration settings about your marketing audience, contact management, and location-specific branding and communication options.

To access Toast Marketing settings

Access your restaurant location in the Toast administration back-end, and then select Marketing > Email Marketing.
On the top right corner of the Toast Marketing dashboard page, select Settings.

The Toast Marketing settings page is displayed.

The settings available in the Audience and Location sections are described below.

Audience

This section displays the total number of guests in your email marketing audience. This number includes guests of all locations in your management group.

The Toast channels we use to build your audience section lists the sources of guest information in the Toast POS system that may be used to build your audience.

In the Add and manage contacts section, you can select Manage Contacts to go to the Manage Your Contacts page to upload your own list of guest email addresses, manage subscriptions, and export guest information. See Managing Contacts for more information on uploading email lists.

This section also contains your restaurant's unique sign up web page URL where guests can sign up to receive marketing emails. For more details, see Sources of Guest Information.

Location

This section displays branding and communication settings for the restaurant location you choose in the View settings for drop-down box. If you select the management group in the drop-down box, you can view and configure settings that apply to automated and one-time campaign emails sent on behalf of the management group to guests of all locations. If you select a specific location in the drop-down box, you can view and configure settings that apply to one-time campaign emails sent only to guests of that location.

Important

Updating one or more settings that apply to the management group can stop active automated campaigns. See this section on updating marketing settings for a management group to understand how these changes affect email campaigns.

The following table describes the configuration options you can set for an individual restaurant location or management group. See this section for more information about how the changes you make in the Location section affect the location's email templates.
