Common Toast POS Hardware

Kitchen printers: used to route orders to prep stations, grill lines, bars, expo, and back-of-house teams.
Cash drawers: used for cash payments and often connected through a compatible receipt printer.
Barcode scanners: used for retail items, packaged goods, loyalty cards, inventory workflows, and barcoded products.
Scales: used for weighed items in delis, cafes, bakeries, specialty food, and grocery-style restaurant workflows.
Printer paper and ribbons: required for thermal receipt printers and impact kitchen printers.

Many Toast restaurants pair receipt printers with cash drawers for front-counter checkout, while kitchens often rely on impact kitchen printers for hot prep areas and printer paper for daily order tickets.

Restaurants that sell packaged goods, bottled drinks, bakery items, or grab-and-go products may also use barcode scanners, label printers, and mobile computers for inventory, receiving, and item lookup workflows.

Some Toast environments use Toast-branded printers and peripherals, while others may support select third-party printers, drawers, scales, scanners, and accessories.

Compatibility depends on your POS software, operating system, connection type, drivers, accessories, and configuration. Confirm compatibility before ordering.

Setup Guidance

Before ordering Toast POS hardware, confirm your Toast device, connection type, restaurant layout, and workflow. Kitchen printers often work best with stable Ethernet networking. Cash drawers usually need the correct printer-driven cable. Scanners and scales should be matched to the Toast workflow and supported peripheral requirements. Restaurants with multiple prep areas should plan printer stations carefully so orders route to the right location.

For related hardware, browse receipt printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, receipt paper, and label printers.

Troubleshooting Tips

If a Toast printer is not printing, check power, network connection, printer station settings, and Toast printer assignment.
If kitchen tickets are missing, verify prep station routing, printer setup, order item routing, and network stability.
If a cash drawer does not open, confirm the drawer cable, printer connection, drawer settings, and supported hardware configuration.
If a scanner is not working, confirm scanner mode, connection type, barcode format, and Toast workflow support.
If a scale is not responding, confirm the supported model, cable, configuration, and Toast scale setup.
If restaurant printers disconnect often, use stable Ethernet where possible and avoid weak Wi-Fi or guest networks.
