What Is a "ToastTab" Charge on My Bank Statement?

ToastTab is an older name for Toast's restaurant payment platform. If you see ToastTab on your statement, you paid at a restaurant using Toast's system under its legacy brand.

Plain-English explanation

Toast, Inc. originally launched under the name ToastTab. Some older merchant configurations or certain bank display formats still show 'ToastTab' instead of the newer 'TST*' format. The payment is identical — it's a restaurant meal or food service processed by Toast.

Most common reasons this appears

• Restaurant using an older Toast configuration showing the legacy brand
• Dine-in or takeout payment at a Toast-enabled restaurant
• Online order through a Toast-powered ordering system

How to verify this charge

• Look up the business name alongside 'ToastTab' to confirm it's a restaurant.
• Check your email for a digital receipt from the establishment.
• Contact the restaurant if the amount doesn't match your bill.

When to be concerned

• Amount doesn't match any recent dining experience.
• You see multiple ToastTab charges you don't recognize.
• No restaurant of that name exists in your area.
