Toast Fuel Overview

Toast Fuel, also called Fuel Mode, is a mode built on Toast's Retail platform that connects your indoor POS to your outdoor fuel dispensers. It lets your staff authorize pumps, handle prepays, accept fleet cards, and manage fuel transactions from the same system you use to run your in-store retail and food operations. Fuel Mode currently supports Wayne dispensers with iXPay 1 or iXPay 2 payment terminals, with additional dispenser and payment support planned for future releases.

Before You Begin

Applies to: Toast Fuel (Fuel Mode), an add-on to Toast Retail

Permissions needed: None — this article is for prospective and current Toast customers evaluating Fuel Mode

What you'll accomplish: You'll understand what Fuel Mode does, whether your site qualifies, and what to expect from signing through go-live.

Step 1: Confirm Your Site Is a Fit

Fuel Mode is built for independent, unbranded fuel operators, most commonly those who also run a convenience store or foodservice counter. To confirm your site is a fit, check that you operate independently of a major oil brand and that your fuel dispensers are Wayne models with iXPay 1 or iXPay 2 payment terminals.

Step 2: Talk to Your Toast Representative

Once you've confirmed your site is a fit, talk to your Toast representative about adding Fuel Mode to your account. They'll review your setup and walk you through what's included.

Step 3: Complete the Site Survey and Installation

Toast's installation partner, OWL Services, will conduct a site survey and install the Allied Forecourt Controller that connects your POS to your dispensers. Your Toast representative will coordinate timing with you.

Step 4: Learn the Fuel Mode Workflows

Your team will be trained on the core Fuel Mode transactions, including:

  • Prepay inside

  • Prepay underrun refunds

  • Rest in Gas

  • Cash/credit price differentiation at the pump

  • Pump stacking

  • Moving a prepay to a different pump

  • Contact and contactless card payment at the dispenser

Step 5: Go Live

Once installation and training are complete, you're ready to start accepting fuel transactions through Toast.

Note: Toast Fuel is under active development. Support for Gilbarco dispensers, PIN debit at the pump, and additional fleet card programs is planned for future releases. Ask your Toast representative for the latest timing.
