Enabling Guest-Facing Loyalty with Toast and Appfront

If you're using Toast and AppFront Loyalty, you can enable Guest-Facing Loyalty to allow customers to identify themselves and redeem rewards directly from the Toast Guest-Facing Display during checkout.

Written by Sarah Hassler

What is Guest-Facing Loyalty?

Once enabled, guests can sign in to their loyalty account directly from the Guest-Facing Display using one of the available lookup methods:

  • Phone Number

  • Email Address

  • QR Code (requires a compatible barcode scanner)

The available sign-in methods are configurable within Toast's third-party loyalty settings.

How the Guest Experience Works

1. Guest Signs In

When checking out, guests are prompted to sign in using their preferred lookup method.

They can choose to:

  • Enter their phone number

  • Scan their loyalty QR code (if supported by your hardware)

2. Rewards Are Evaluated

After a successful sign-in, Toast checks the guest's AppFront Loyalty account.

One of two experiences will occur:

  • No rewards available — The guest is successfully checked in and continues with checkout.

  • Rewards available — Eligible rewards are displayed once a qualifying item has been added to the order.

By default, Toast allows one reward redemption per order.

3. Guest Redeems or Skips

If rewards are available, the guest can:

  • Redeem an eligible reward

  • Select Skip if they would rather save their reward for a future visit

If a reward is redeemed, it is automatically applied as a discount on the current order and a confirmation is displayed.

How to Enable Guest-Facing Loyalty

Guest-Facing Loyalty must be enabled by Toast.

Please contact the AppFront Support team support@appfront.ai and we'll coordinate the enablement request with Toast on your behalf.

To expedite the request, please include:

  • Your restaurant name

  • Your Toast location(s)

  • Your Toast GUID (if available)

Hardware Requirements

QR code sign-in requires a compatible scanner.

At this time, Toast notes that Zebra scanners are supported, while other scanner models may not support QR code sign-in.
