       | "Always available - 24/7 support, top-tier reliability, and full
       | offline mode keep your restaurant moving."
       | 
       | Does anyone know if Toast also enables downloading/backing up
       | critical data in a parsable format in case something were to
       | happen to them/your account/etc.?

       | Great story! Can't remember if I've used it or not because tbh I

       | great success tech story.

       | They seem to have ignored a few sacred truths. They scaled more
       | slowly, raised capital less aggressively, and shockingly have
       | real human customer support.

       | This is the interesting bit:

       |  _Get started for free* and pay one flat fee per order, not a
       | percent of sales._
       | 
       | Their own driver network for deliveries, and if you're already
       | integrated with everything Toast, why not?
