Difference in scope

Toast is a POS and payments platform. 86’d is not a POS and doesn’t process payments. 86’d can read Toast CSV exports today (a direct Toast API connection is Planned, pending live verification), and adds the manager log and handoff, nightly close and tip-out statements, BEOs, report cards and AI suggestions. 86’d is not a POS and doesn’t process payments; it reads POS exports.
