Toast launches Toast Fuel for convenience store operators

Toast has launched Toast Fuel, a new cloud-native platform designed to unify fuel payments, in-store retail, and foodservice for convenience store operators. The service aims to consolidate systems that are often disconnected, allowing operators to manage pump controls, retail sales, and restaurant-style food services through a single interface.

According to data from the National Association of Convenience Stores, convenience stores account for approximately 80% of fuel purchased by consumers in the United States. As these stores increasingly adopt quick-service restaurant models—including digital ordering, loyalty programs, and made-to-order food—Toast Fuel provides tools to manage these converging operations.

Key features of the platform include a real-time pump dashboard, support for various fuel-specific transactions such as fleet-card acceptance and prepayments, and an offline mode to maintain operations during internet outages. The system integrates kitchen display systems, digital menus, and online ordering to support stores with extensive food programs.
