Why operators choose Shop Savvy over Toast Loyalty
Toast Loyalty is a clean, simple way to add points to Toast — but only if you're already committed to Toast POS. If you're evaluating your POS at the same time as loyalty, or you want richer tiers and a cross-merchant network, Shop Savvy gives you an all-in-one platform without the single-POS lock-in.
- Loyalty isn't tied to a single POS — it's part of an all-in-one platform you own end to end
- Richer tiers (up to 3x earn) and automated birthday, streak, and referral rewards
- A cross-merchant Rewards Wallet network Toast Loyalty doesn't offer
- One transparent price from $69/month covers POS, payments, ordering, and loyalty
- Flexible hardware and platform, not locked to Toast's Android devices
