Toast is driven by building the restaurant platform that helps restaurants adapt, take control, and get back to what they do best: building the businesses they love.

• Allocation Strategy & Reconciliation: Develop data-driven allocation strategies for supply-constrained environments and standardize material allocations between Toast and CM vendors to prevent shortfalls and miscommunications.
• Non-Standard Process & Inventory Oversight: Manage protocols for consigned inventory and non-standard material handling, including coordination of shipments, POs, and reconciliation for high-value components sourced through third-party brokers.
• Excess & Obsolete (E&O) Risk Management: Proactively identify E&O inventory risks and present mitigation plans to leadership; support EOL transitions and next-generation component integration roadmaps.
• Financial Reporting & Analytics: Act as the primary liaison for material reporting needs from Finance and Accounting, maintaining dashboards that provide cross-organizational visibility including PO cost tracking.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Drive alignment with Demand Planning and Strategic Sourcing to optimize material allocation, reduce procurement costs, and support supply/demand decision-making.
