New Integration
IRIS integrates with Toast POS
We now support orders and payments through Toast POS. This enables guests to order and pay for items in IRIS, while syncing with the Toast system. It also expands POS integration options and gives properties greater flexibility in connecting their systems.
Contact your account manager or designated support team to make use of these new features if you use Toast POS and Payments.
