Case Study: The Eastman Egg Company achieves seamless mobile ordering and reliable kitchen integration with Toast

The Eastman Egg Company Builds a Mobile Restaurant App Using the Toast API

The Eastman Egg Company, founded by Hunter Swartz, serves high-quality grab-and-go breakfast at three Chicago locations and faced the challenge of delivering freshly made items to commuters on unpredictable schedules. They needed a mobile solution that would bridge the physical and digital experience so customers could order and receive piping-hot food without waiting or wasted product.

Eastman built a mobile app that uses geo-location and the Toast API to send orders to the kitchen only when customers are nearby, while Toast POS and kitchen display screens coordinate production across stations. The reliable integration enabled near-instant handoffs, increased digitally enabled sales to about 30% of the business, drove a 20x year-over-year app adoption to over 2,300 downloads, and improved speed and consistency of service.
