Allow your guests to see all items being entered into the Toast POS, directly on the drive-thru order confirmation screen!

Delphi Order Confirmation Screen (OCS) Overview

Delphi (by Toast) provides various hardware and software solutions for enterprise and SMB customers. Delphi's product offerings include an Order Confirmation Screen (OCS), which can be used to help increase order accuracy in your drive-thru. Leveraging Delphi's guest-facing display settings, the OCS allows guests to see all items being entered in the Toast POS directly on the drive-thru order confirmation screen.

To use the OCS, the following are required:

  • A fully paid sales agreement by the Delphi customer

  • Delphi Order Confirmation Screen package

    • Digital video encoder

    • +15 VDC power supply

    • Micro HDMI to standard HMDI cable

  • A Toast POS device. A single Toast POS device can power a single OCS. Each OCS must be connected to a Toast POS device

  • Delphi digital menu board or a Delphi Endura 15X outdoor display


​​​​​Note: A Toast Insight Engage Platform license and account is required if using the OCS with a Delphi digital menu board. For more information, see Get Started With the Insight Engage Platform. If using the Delphi Endura 15X outdoor display, a Toast Insight Engage Platform license is not required.

If you have any questions or comments, contact your Toast account manager.

Delphi Order Confirmation Screen (OCS)

Delphi's OCS utilizes the video image generated from the guest-facing display (GFD) output on a Toast POS device to transmit the OCS display via Delphi's IP-NET video streaming technology. A video encoder converts the HDMI digital video from the Toast POS device to the OCS on a Delphi digital menu board or an Endura 15X outdoor display. If using the Delphi Endura 15X outdoor display, you only need to connect the video encoder and configure your guest display settings to start using the OCS.

Guest OCS Drive-thru Experience

Note: The experience described below assumes you have configured a standby image in Toast Web. Delphi Support recommends you configure a standby image for the OCS. For more information, see .

After you have configured and enabled drive-thru mode for your OCS, your guests will be able to use the OCS to view and confirm their order. Your guest drive-thru experience is as follows:

  1. Your guest pulls up to your drive-thru. The standby image is visible on the Delphi digital menu board or Delphi Endura 15X outdoor display. The image below is an example of a standby image that would be displayed on a digital menu board or outdoor display.

    Standby Image on OCS.png
  2. Your guest places their order. As their order is being entered on the Quick Order screen on the Toast POS, the standby image is replaced with the OCS. The OCS displays your guest's order items as they are entered into the POS in real-time. The image below is an example of a guest order displayed on the OCS.

  3. Once your guest has confirmed their order, the restaurant operator sends the order through the POS to the kitchen. Your guest can now proceed to the drive-thru's payment window. The OCS displays a thank you message for five seconds before the standby image appears. The standby image appears ready for the next guest in your drive-thru. The image below is an example of the thank you message displayed on the OCS.

Best Practices and FAQ

Best Practices

Delphi Support recommends that you have at least two Toast POS devices in your drive-thru. One device to use to place the guest's order to the Toast platform and another device to accept the guest's payment.

What information is shown on the OCS to a drive-thru customer?

The following information is shown on the OCS to a drive-thru customer:

  • Item modifiers

  • Total order price

  • Applicable discounts

  • Applicable surcharges

Can I see orders on the OCS from multiple Toast POS devices?

At the time of publication, the OCS can only connect to one POS device at a time. The POS device that is connected must be the same POS that the order was placed on.

I configured a promotion (in-progress) image on the Guest Display page in Toast Web. Why is the image not showing up on the OCS?

At the time of publication, configured promotional in-progress images will not be displayed on the OCS.

Does the OCS scroll to show additional order items?

Yes, the OCS scrolls up and down to show additional order items. Scrolling may cut off earlier items at the top of the order.

How do I install the Delphi OCS hardware?

The workflow to install the Delphi OCS hardware is as follows:

  • Onboarding coordination and scheduling: Once you have provided the relevant information to your Delphi account manager, a member of the Delphi team will be in contact to organize the onboarding, scheduling, and set up.

  • Hardware installation: The Delphi team will be responsible for the physical Delphi installation and running of all additional cables needed for Delphi to connect to Toast.

  • Customer and technical support: Toast customers should reach out directly to Delphi Display for any issues with their Delphi hardware and cabling.

Why is the OCS showing a black screen?

If there has been no interaction with the Toast POS for 30 minutes, the OCS moves into an idle state and displays a black screen. Toast support recommends you do not quit the Toast POS app or navigate out of the app, as the OCS will mirror your POS's display instead of the OCS.
