What a Company Code Is
A company code is an abbreviation of your company's name that is assigned to every Toast Payroll customer. It is generally formatted as a single word in lowercase and corresponds to your specific organization, though the exact format varies between businesses. You use your company code to sign in to Toast Payroll on the web.
Note: More than one Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) can live under the same company code, so a single company code may cover multiple locations or entities in your business.
Find Your Company Code When You Are Already Signed In
If you are already signed in to Toast Payroll, your company code appears in the upper-right corner of the page. For HR+ and manager security roles, it is directly to the left of the search bar. For employee security roles, it is directly to the left of the avatar icon.
Find Your Company Code in Your Onboarding Email
Your company code is included in the onboarding emails sent to the person who initially set up Toast Payroll for your business. If you set up Toast Payroll, search your inbox for your Toast Payroll onboarding email to find your company code. If someone else set it up, ask that person to share the company code with you.
Find Your Company Code in the Toast Web URL
If you cannot find your company code using the options above, you can locate it through Toast Web.
Sign in to Toast Web.
Select Payroll from the left-hand navigation menu.
Look at the URL in your browser's address bar. Your company code is the word in the middle of the URL: https://payroll.toasttab.com/[YOUR COMPANY CODE]/dashboard.
Expected outcome: You can read your company code directly from the address bar between payroll.toasttab.com/ and /dashboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find my Toast Payroll company code?
You can find your Toast Payroll company code in three places. If you are already signed in to Toast Payroll, it appears in the upper-right corner of the page, to the left of the search bar (HR+ and manager roles) or the avatar icon (employee roles). It is also included in the onboarding email sent to whoever set up Toast Payroll. If neither works, sign in to Toast Web, select Payroll, and read the company code from the middle of the URL: https://payroll.toasttab.com/[YOUR COMPANY CODE]/dashboard.

Do I need a company code to sign in to the MyToast app?
You do not need a company code to sign in to the MyToast app. MyToast first-time login is keyed to the email address on your Toast Web profile, not to a company code or organization name. Company codes are only used when you sign in to Toast Payroll directly on the web. If a manager has shared a company code with you, save it for signing in to Toast Payroll on a desktop browser. For more about MyToast sign-in, see The MyToast App: Account.

Is the company code the same as my POS access code?
The company code is not the same as your POS access code. A company code is the lowercase abbreviation of your business name that you use to sign in to Toast Payroll on the web. A POS access code is the numeric code an employee enters to clock in or take orders on a Toast POS device. If you are looking for the numeric code you enter on the POS, see Find or Edit an Employee's POS Access Code.
