## When Storekit wins

- You want direct ordering that matches your brand without re-platforming your till.
- You want pay-at-table, catering, and loyalty hooks without upgrading every Toast module.
- You prefer a flat monthly plan and a per-order rate on direct orders, with no commission.
- You want a named UK contact who stays with you through the first 100 orders.

## Switching from Toast

### How long does switching from Toast take?

If Toast is only your ordering layer, about a week. If it is deeply wired into kitchen and payroll, we map integrations first - your concierge quotes a realistic go-live date.

### Will I lose my Toast guest data?

We import exports you can pull from Toast or your CRM. Historical orders may stay in Toast for reporting - we do not delete third-party records.

### Can I migrate my Toast menu and settings?

Menu and pricing, yes. POS-specific configs stay on Toast if you keep the till. We document what moves and what stays before you approve the diff.

### What does it cost to switch?

We charge no migration fee. Starter and Grow you set up yourself; Pro and Enterprise are built with you, and that is a one-off fee per location. Check your Toast contract for any exit terms on their side.

### Will my team need to retrain?

Guests order the same way on your domain or app. Staff changes are mostly admin and printer setup - usually one training session.
