    • Bang looked at 15+ other POS partners before talking to Toast, and it was “quite clear that Toast is far superior to anything else offered in the market” 

    • Robustness of the Toast devices, and ease of use in the restaurant environment. Examples like editing menus on the fly and working with a team that genuinely understands restaurants made Toast stand out. 

    • Extensive on-site support and smooth onboarding to Toast was a major plus for Bang.
