Question
How can I add xtraCHEF to my Toast account?
How can I add a new xtraCHEF location to my existing account?
Answer
To add a new xtraCHEF by Toast account or add a location to your existing account, you will need to submit a demo request through the Toast shop. This ensures that a Toast Sales Agent can reach out and assist with the set up and onboarding.
Log in to your Toast Web account.
Using the drop-down menu in the upper-left corner, select the restaurant location that you would like to add to xtraCHEF. You will not have a drop-down menu function if you only have one location.
Navigate to the Toast Shop by selecting Shop from the left-hand navigation menu of the location you're looking to get xtraCHEF integrated with.
At the top of the page, select Software solutions > Costs and inventory. Alternatively, select the magnifying glass icon and search for "xtraCHEF."
There are two subscription tiers to choose from.:
Essentials: $179/month/location. Includes Invoice Automation & Accounting System Syncing
Pro: $279/month/location. Includes all Essentials features, plus Inventory Management and Recipe Costing.
More information on each tier is listed below.
Select the plan you would like to check out and select Get a Demo. This will notify an sales representative, who will then connect with you to showcase a demo and, if you choose to, proceed with account enrollment and product setup/onboarding.
