Toast POS handles sales, payments, and basic stock tracking. But it does not do weekly stockroom counting, PAR level management, or vendor-ready order emails. TrackItWeekly works alongside Toast to fill that gap. Count your stockroom in TrackItWeekly, get PAR levels and order recommendations, and send vendor-ready emails. Your Toast POS keeps running sales. No integration required. Plans start at $19/month.
Toast is a powerful restaurant POS platform. It tracks menu items, processes payments, and manages the front of house. For inventory, Toast offers stock level tracking and some reporting on ingredient usage. Higher-tier Toast plans include more advanced inventory features like recipe-level tracking and cost analysis.
But Toast's inventory features are designed for real-time sales-based tracking. They tell you what sold and what the system thinks you should have left. They do not help you walk your stockroom on Monday morning, count what is actually on the shelf, and generate an order to your distributor.

Toast handles your register. TrackItWeekly handles your stockroom. They do not need to talk to each other because they serve different parts of your operation.
The weekly workflow:
You never touch Toast for inventory counting. You never touch TrackItWeekly for sales. Each tool does what it was designed for.
Toast's inventory features track what the POS system thinks you have based on what sold. But what the system thinks and what is actually on the shelf are two different things. Shrinkage, breakage, short shipments, and miscounts create gaps between system stock and physical stock. Toast does not have a weekly counting workflow that lets your manager verify what is physically there.
If you need to place an order with your distributor, Toast does not generate vendor-ready order emails. You still need to leave Toast, look at your stock levels, calculate what to order, and write the order yourself. TrackItWeekly does that calculation and email generation for you.
TrackItWeekly Starter is $19/month for one location and 500 SKUs. That covers most single-location restaurants and cafes. The Growth plan at $79/month supports up to 5 locations with reorder alerts. Compare that to upgrading your Toast plan to unlock advanced inventory features, which can add $50 to $100+ per month per location.
TrackItWeekly does not replace any part of your Toast subscription. It adds the counting and ordering layer that Toast was not designed to provide. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Yes. TrackItWeekly does not integrate with Toast and does not need to. You do not need to change any Toast settings, reconfigure your POS, or adjust your menu. You simply add TrackItWeekly as a separate tool that your managers use for the weekly count and order. Setup takes under 5 minutes: import your distributor list, set your location, and start counting.
