Leal vs Toast
Restaurant loyalty that works with any POS, not just Toast.
Loyalty without the POS lock-in
Toast bundles loyalty into a larger POS ecosystem. That means buying their hardware, using their payment processing, and paying ongoing platform fees just to run a stamp card. Leal gives you better loyalty features without changing anything about your existing setup.
The Toast loyalty trade-off
- POS lock-in - Loyalty requires the full Toast POS system
- Hardware costs - Toast terminals and handheld devices are required purchases
- Restaurant-only - Not suitable if you run a retail shop, salon, or other business type
- Basic loyalty features - Points and rewards are add-ons to a POS, not the core product

Who is Leal for?
