Local by Toast

First of all, you get $5 off your first order automatically! Basically half-off lunch, which is how I heard about Toast TakeOut initially. I love being able to order on my way out of the office and have lunch waiting when I get there. There are different types of restaurants on here so you don’t have to download all the individual apps.

Bad idea, tantamount to a scam. Note this app is simply for ordering food on-line so *you* can pick it up. I went to a local pizza place’s website, which was using this platform to place both delivery and pick-up orders. I was bait and switched with a $5 coupon into downloading and using their app for the order - which fools you into thinking delivery is provided by asking for your address. When the order didn’t come, I investigated. Silly me for not paying attention - I had to pay the pizza place $2 to deliver and tip the driver! They got paid via surcharging the local pizza place and the “tip” they didn’t pass on.

I was looking for an app for ordering pick up lunch in the Fenway and Backbay area without having to wait in line but there wasn’t anything that had my favorite places like Mei Mei and Tatte Bakery. Then my friend told me about this amazing Toast Takeout app that’s not even searchable in the AppStore yet. Wish there could be more Asian restaurants in here. Now I use it every day and skip the line. Every. Time.

Sometimes, I don’t have time to sit down in a restaurant and need to eat during a meeting, at my desk, during a catch up call with a girlfriend who lives on the other side of the country, or on the move. I love how I can pick up a delicious pastry and coffee, a sandwich for lunch, or Italian for dinner no matter what I’m running to next.

I downloaded the app so I could order from a local restaurant that’s not immediately in my area. I set up the app and it only offered about 5 local restaurants that I could order from. When I put the name of the place I wanted to order from it wasn’t available. There is no option to expand my order area or pick a location other than another address. I live in the suburbs and wanted to order from a restaurant in the city. I’ll just delete and order on their website
