The open approach of Toast, which is based on partner activity as a mechanism for organizing the workflow, for many restaurants means access to Cartwheel technology designed to optimize delivery. This was announced by Cartwheel CEO and co-founder Alex Vasilkin. According to him, in such categories as, for example, pizza, efficiency is a factor of paramount importance. He also expressed pride in the fact that his company provides Toast customers with tools, the use of which contributes to increasing the level of efficiency in the delivery sector.

The hybrid Cartwheel delivery solution improves the quality of restaurants. In this case, the result is ensured by optimizing own and outsourced supplies.
