Toast’s fourth-quarter performance is expected to have gained from location additions and international expansion, positively impacting its market share in the restaurant technology space.
Toast’s introduction of new features like Electronic Benefit Transfer and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments to its platform is likely to have added more customers from the convenience store sector.
The launch of other offerings, such as the Branded App for native iOS and Android, which supports ordering, delivery, loyalty programs, and SMS marketing, is expected to have gained traction and contributed to top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
Strength in renewal rates of Toast’s software-as-a-service solution driven by its subscription model and rising number of repeat customers is likely to have contributed to Toast’s annual recurring revenues (ARR) in the to-be-reported quarter.
Nevertheless, TOST’s rapid expansion of the total addressable market is likely to have raised its sales and marketing expenses, putting pressure on the bottom line. Additionally, the persistent macroeconomic pressure is likely to have kept Toast’s customer churn rate high among smaller restaurants due to increasing cost and wage pressures.
