Ensuring your menu data is up-to-date

Toast Support recommends that you compare the date and time of your current menu JSON to that of the most recently published JSON to see if changes have been made before you make a call to the /menus endpoint. You retrieve the date and time of the most recently published JSON using the /metadata endpoint. See Determining if a restaurant's menu data has gone stale for more information.

Important

Best practice is to poll the /metadata endpoint through the day to determine if your menu JSON has become stale and make a call to the /menus endpoint if it has.
